• The entire staff at the Burnham was top notch. Best I've had.
• No pool on-site.

“The Burnham is in a great central downtown location. It offers stunning architecture with an historical feel. The staff treated us like family from check-in to check-out. One gentleman even went out of his way to guide us through the city while he was off the clock.”

“The Burnham is in a great location with staff that makes you feel like you are at home. It is located near Millennium Park and lots of shopping opportunities are nearby. The room was a little small but was very comfortable with large windows. We would stay there again.”

• Beautiful, historic hotel.
• Construction on street below made for a noisy night. (I realize this is temporary). Otherwise, no downside.

“Beautiful, historic hotel. Very helpful, friendly staff. Very comfortable rooms with equally comfortable beds. Close to Michigan Avenue and trains. Felt safe late at night walking to hotel. Loved the old fashioned, brass keys. Nice to have interesting history of hotel posted in lobby. Would definitely recommend this hotel.”

• The location is not bad, but with all the construction it made finding things very hard.
• Very small room. The table was right in front of the TV (one foot to be exact). Small bathroom with no vent, made the room hot.

“This hotel is located in a good location for shopping. If you are interested in an old buildings turned into hotels, then this could be your place. Very small rooms that had very few amenities. A bed with a table one foot in front of the TV and a small bathroom with no vent. Nice decor. Would not recommend this hotel.”

• The staff is beyond compare; every single one of them is friendly, knowledgeable and just wonderful! A+.
• Construction outside our window was 24/7 and loud! Once this is done, it will be a wonderful place to stay.

“Hotel Burnham is a gem. Great old charm with all the modern conveniences. Best feature is the warm, welcoming staff. They must really love their jobs, because every single one of them is smiling, helpful, sincere, and quick to respond. If they say they will send up an extra pillow, someone is knocking on your door within 5 minutes. Their smiles are contagious and make the guests feel happy and pampered, which is as it should be, and yet is a rare find anymore. The construction across the street was loud, but they were good about telling us ahead of time, so I brought a fan and some ear plugs, and that made it pretty tolerable. My 3-yr old son thought the construction show outside our window was the best part of his trip to Chicago! Once the construction is over, Hotel Burnham is a must-stay in my book.”

• The mattress was not comfortable at all.

“Great hotel. Be warned of construction across the street. We did not face it and it was quieter. Perfect location and only 1 block from CTA.”

“Friendly, courteous staff, ready and eager to be helpful. The sheets almost silk like in texture. I would stay here again in a minute.”

• Room was clean and high ceilings were nice.
• Loud construction was going on all night right outside hotel and small room.

“The room despite being very nice, clean, was quite small and late night construction out of the hotel's control forced us to switch rooms at night, but both rooms, were very clean and the high ceilings had a very good effect on making the room feel bigger than it was. If the construction had not been going on, we would have been extremely happy with everything, because everything else was fantastic.”

• Fantastic Location and they gave us wine each night in the beautiful lobby area.
• The street noises kept us up at times, but it is an inner city.

“Fantastic. Would love to go there again.”

• Very clean and great atmosphere.
• The valet service was poor.

“The hotel was fine but not worthy of 4 stars. On two separate occasions we were treated like second class citizens. We were informed by the hotel management that our reservation was made through an "opaque" source so we did not qualify for their rewards program, etc. I would not stay at this hotel again with the way we were treated.”

• Wine reception, cleanliness, location.
• Construction noise, small rooms.

“For the most part, we enjoyed our stay at Hotel Burnham. The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. The location of the hotel is excellent! Unfortunately, the rooms and lobby area seemed to be small for the price, although they're quite cozy in feel. The construction of 108 N. State Street (right across from our room) was incredibly annoying during all hours of the day and night. Had the construction noise not existed, our stay would have been rated much higher! We felt pity for the staff because there's not really anything they can do to alleviate the noise, but they didn't offer any suggestions on how to make it more comfortable for us either. When construction ends, we'll certainly consider returning to Hotel Burnham.”

• Construction & street traffic noise.

“Not a real good time to stay at this hotel 2/15/07 because of new building being constructed across the street. Wait 6 six months to a year before booking. Other then the noise it was a terrific place to stay in the Chicago Loop.”
