Just a great place to stay in Chicago, period. The room was perfect...not much else to say. The L (train) is 3 steps from the front door-couldn't be more convenient. We departed from O'hare and the L to O'hare was the only way to go. 37 minute train ride for $2.25..unbeatable. I would stay here again for sure. Not sure... More

I was in Chicago for business and the client picked this hotel. It was a great choice. It has a W feel but with better lighting and nicer people. When you check in, you are given a warm chocolate chip cookie! That is just the best idea ever! And, they actually tasted really good. The room was very nice and... More

I recently stayed at the Wit for a combination work and pleasure trip along with my 21 year old daughter. Your stay will start immediately as soon as you get out of your cab where you will promptly be greeted by the abundant staff who are outside and inside the lobby. Check in was fast and efficient. We were given... More

Humbling and gratifying that overall guest experiences at theWit are so well received. As usual for us, we have already shared kind words with the team in all areas. We look forward to delighting guests during repeat visits and welcoming new "family" throughout the years! -Mark Shouger General Manager More

My husband and I stayed here for one night. I had called the hotel a few days before arrival to see if they could hold our bags at the hotel since check-in wasn't until afternoon, and she said we'd probably be able to check in instead of checking our bags at the front desk, even though we were planning to...

I had a fantastic view from my corner room and it was beautiful. Like others I was disappointed to pay for wifi. I'd rather have had a paper as something I choose to have than something that they give you and charge you for as a default. The restaurant was great, great food, beer and breakfast was lovely. Unfortunately, I... More

Thank you for your compliments and critique. Good points, all! We will share your kudos with our Chef and restaurant team. Additionally, we will share your valid perspectives with our guest services team. As mentioned, rooms and suites do have various vantage points and we typically are able to meet most such requests (sites, sounds, proximity). Best regards, Mark Shouger... More

The team, here, relishes in the great comments shared and they inspire all to continue to offer excellence in service. Please note that internet access is complimentary in public spaces at theWit, and in-room for those HHonors members (yes theWit is in the Hilton Family as a Doubletree by Hilton property) on the upper tiers. Thank you! -Mark Shouger General... More

Just returned from our second stay at theWit! Once again, we were quite satisfied. We spent a few nights last year here and enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to stay here again. The rooms are ultra modern. This time we stayed in a King spa room. The only recommendation I would have is that if you're staying... More

The rooms are well appointed and I like that there are many outlets for recharging. However, I never like to pay for wi-fi and this place charges for each device you want to connect. I think it's outrageous to spend $12/day and not be able to connect a computer and ipad if you need to in your room. I don't... More

My wife and I spent a weekend here last summer and really enjoyed the hotel. Our room was very large with floo to ceiling windows with great views. The rooftop bar was noisy and fun, and great for people watching. Great location, close to the train, and walking distance to a lot of great restaurants. Valet parking was a little... More

My wife and I traveled to Chicago for a weekend and chose The Wit because we had seen it on our last trip and liked the location and the look of it. The staff was very friendly during check-in and accommodated us when we asked for a room change based on the layout of the room. The room we stayed... More
