May prices for hotels in Chicago are out of control. The price for this room was very inflated. A basic room without any amenities. Not the best value. Bedside night light did not work and bathroom faucet dripped. The morning coffee and fruit was nice but for the price you’re better off staying across the street at Home 2. The only thing great about this hotel is location otherwise just average and VERY overpriced.

We are so sorry to hear about your experience at Hotel Felix. Hotel Felix is a boutique style hotel therefore the smaller amount of space offered in rooms. We offer free lattes and cappuccinos at the bar any time of the day if you ever need to quench the thirst.

Being right in the middle of downtown this hotel was convenient in walking to wherever you needed to go as far as shopping and eating. However it is a little noisy in the middle of the night. Overall we had a great experience would definitely stay again!

Guest room was not thoroughly cleaned. Bed frames were not compatible with mattresses. All furniture was damaged. White towels were stained with black hair, while washcloths had black stains. Both guests were blonde. Sink was broken in the bathroom, causing constant water flow. Toilet had difficulty flushing properly. Curtains had a brownish color substance on them. No parking available by the hotel. Paid $15 for 20 minutes of parking, $35 for overnight parking from 12:30 am to 10 am, and $22 for the use of Wi-Fi, breakfast, and gym. For $258 a night, I would choose a different hotel.

The hotel staff and service were good. Our room was disgusting. There was hair on the “new” towel, spider webs on the windows and ceiling, make up, hair and hair products from the previous guest that was not cleaned up properly. And the absolute worse thing we found a some sort of bug on the curtains ! Location of the hotel is great but wish I would have went with a different hotel, the pictures on the website are deceiving for sure.

Thank you for your feedback. Our 75 incidental charge is just a hold at check in that is required in case of any incidentals charged to the room and is returned upon check out if there are no charges. We plan on changing this amount to 100 in the near future.

The room was small, it was in an older building, but was renovated. There was no temporary parking for unloading during our visit, it may be due from the construction working in the area. The parking garage was nearby and was expensive for overnight parking.

We are so sorry to hear about your experience at Hotel Felix. The 22 Resort Fee is mentioned in the pricing that is owed at property.

Whenever there is loud guests please always let the front desk know so the agents can go check up on the rooms that were making loud noises. We will do better to set up quiet hours.
