Great Stay at Hotel Felix

Loved my stay at Hotel Felix. I was in the city for work. I live out in the middle of nowhere, so it's very dark and quiet at night. The street noise didn't bother me as I thought it might. Staff was super friendly and helpful, and the cafe was great! Cucumber water in the lobby was a nice touch, too. The room was spotless, but prior to check-in, I had to be let into the lobby bathroom, and it was in need of some attention. The only thing I would add is that either the walls are a bit thin or noise travels through the venting system, as I heard an entire conversation carried on by two ladies. Otherwise, I loved this boutique hotel and would highly recommend it and will definitely re-book for my next trip to Chicago in a few weeks.

Nice clean and quiet room with the added bonus of a free drink at the bar for 2 each day of our stay. The staff on reception are very friendly and the house was very good. This was our 2nd time staying at the Hotel Felix and we once again enjoyed. The location is very good too.

The location was great, but the room was tiny. The resort fee was $26/day, which seems incredibly high for what we got for it (free coffee and fruit); it should just be rolled into the cost of booking and not a separate fee. We didn’t get a good nights sleep. They also had unexpected plumbing issues. I don’t think I would book again.

Do not let the proximity to the magnificent mile tempt you to stay at this hell hole. The moment of our arrival, we were already off to a bad start when the front desk staff helped the person behind me in line because she wrongfully assumed we were with a guest who was already receiving help long before we got there. Approximately 3 hours later, I discovered 2 bed bugs on the top sheets while sitting on the bed. I sent photos and videos to my friend who is a nurse, and she confirmed this is what they were. After pulling back the sheets, I promptly discovered a few blood spots and insect sheds which I also documented. Although switching us to a new room quickly, the hotel provided no other help to us. I inquired about the possibility of the hotel providing wash services on high heat to treat our luggage for bed bugs. They told us that they could not help us after SEVERAL DAYS of waiting for a response. They also accused us of bringing the bedbugs ourselves from "the train" even though we didnt take it. As a temporary solution, I requested 2 steamers to be sent up to our room. An entire HOUR went by and I had to call the front desk again and ask why we had not received them to which they replied that we were "low on their priority list"! In addition to these issues, they had nobody staffed at their hotel bar and I had to call for service and we were cat called by hotel staff. There were other issues on our list of problems but this is all I could fit in 1500 words.
