The James Chicago Hotel - Chicago

Een mooi hotel, met mooie kamers (geen mooi uitzicht) en vlakbij de Magnificent Mile. Alle shopping kan je lopend doen.

zoals boven aangegeven alles een vijf zeer uitstekend. Hotel kamers waren netjes service was ook zeer goed, gewoon een top verblijf

Stayed at The James, for 4 nights, the staff were polite and very helpful. Everyone smiled (appropriately) and was interested in my stay at the hotel. It's in a great location just 1 block from the Magnificent Mile and walking distance from most downtown sites. Even is you decide not to eat at the hotel there are lots of quick cheap bite places near by.

The James Hotel is clearly a cutting-edge hotel. The trendy fixtures, plasma TV, and techno music in the lobby create an atmosphere that surely appeals to a certain crowd. I am not a member of that crowd. My wife and I chose the James because it received high ratings from other hotels.com users and because the rate was competitive. If you are visiting Chicago and want the true Chi-town experience, this place is probably great. We, on the other hand, did not find the room to be particularly charming. The service was fantastic. The granite counter in the bathroom was pretty. I think the only way to explain why I disliked the experience is to say that we would not have stayed in the city if our vacation could have taken us to a sleepy little town somewhere. If you want to stay in the city and feel like you're in the city, stay at the James. If you're not "trendy," if you don't find pleasure in feeling like you just stepped into a caricature of urban yuppiness, you should probably stay elsewhere.

Although we had to walk a few blocks to get to the CTA, the hotel was very nice, and service was excellent. We came back to clean linens, towels, and robes even after hour-long lunches. And they neatly folded our clothes and set them on our bags. It was great.

The James Hotel is in a great location just off Michigan Avenue. However, the price you pay for that is the noise! Room was of average size and bed/pillows were not comfortable. When the air conditioning was not on cool - there was a constant buzz and like an overheating smell would come from the vent. Had breakfast one morning in the Hotel. Service was extremely slow, order was incomplete and good was average.

Great location. Creative and comfortable room with distinctive decorating and updated features. Lobby area is crowded and noisy, especially with large "artwork" taking up prime space.

Clean, stylish, friendly staff, great workout room, great location, nice lobby/bar/restaurant. We will be back.

lovely concierge team. rm.1208 great corner mini-suite.

Great hotel, close to all of Chicago's touristy stuff, but also provides easy access via El or walking to Chicago's great neighborhoods...Wicker Park, Old Town, Wrigleyville...if you don't leave the Loop/Magnificient Mile area, you're not really seeing all of Chicago. The James provides a great base camp...it's hip without being filled with douchebaggery...the bed is super comfortable. No complaints whatsoever...will definitely stay there again.

Totally great hotel -- clean and super comfortable with very nice staff. Our only concern was their plumbing as our shower drain clogged up on the first day there. Althought they came to fix it immediately, it wasn't really fixed and we kept seeing black deposits left in the tub with a sewage smell...which we alerted them to but they only offered us an apology.

We booked 5 nights at The James after doing a fair amount of looking at other downtown Chicago hotels. We weren't quite sure what to expect but were excited to do some traveling. The room, with one king-sized bed, was clean but there were a lot of things to which I would have expected more attention to be paid, such as veneer coming off of the furniture, flaking paint in the bathroom, and a backed-up shower drain that had other people's hair protruding from it. One of the worst things was the duvet that had a cigarette burn in it, something reminiscent of the cheap road motels of my younger days. All of this was not expected in a relatively expensive hotel room. Perhaps the most unpleasant experience we had during our stay was when we called down to the front desk to ask a question and got a concierge who was very rude. Unfortunately we had to call again a short while later and had to deal with her a second time, again very rude. Many of the people at the James were very nice but we have already made up our minds that, next time we go to Chicago, we will not be staying at the James.

I stayed in the Chicago james for 6 nights in May 2009 with my wife and daughter. The hotel is very modern in style and the service was very good. All the staff were attentive, friendly and efficient. the room was well equipped with large screen Tv and stereo system that took MP3 player input (good for music lovers). the bathroom was very good with one smal caveat, the inside sliding door handle/towel rack was not secure and flipped off now and again. The hotel is very central, just of Michigan Ave. and very close to most amenities and the EL or Metra. the breakfast and reataurant were also very high standard. Would definitely stay again. As cinema buffs we enjoyed the gene Siskel cinema on state street.

Great location, restaurant, great everything!!

I lived in Chicago for a few years and went back for a visit. This is a new hotel since I lived there - it is great! Great location, fun rooms and good food. It isn't cheap, but nothing in Chicago is...so enjoy it.

Hotel was very nice. The room was very comfortable, clean and modern. The guest services needs customer service improvements.

Perfect Location in the center of the city. Helpful and friendly staff. Very nice exercise room. Free wireless. I would definitely stay here again if the rates are reasonable.

Enjoyed the stay. Very friendly and helpful staff that knew us by name. Great location . Stylish rooms, although not all the furniture was as confortable as it looked. top quality Gym. Lively bar off the lobby was a nice stop.

I was impressed with the James Hotel staff. Location just off Michigan Avenue was great for shopping. I highly recommend the hotel steakhouse, Primehouse.

The location was great, right in the middle of everything. The room was excellent and very comfortable. The space felt spacious and the view was great. The price on hotels.com was very fair but the original price through the hotel was pricey. All in all, the stay was perfect!

The compact lobby belied the spaciousness of the finely appointed rooms. The facility was designed with a certain modern sensibility, but hardly austere. I'd go again. My one minor quibble would be that other than the lovely bed, the in-room seating (something akin to a banquette bench and a low armless chair with ottoman) was more chic than comfortable. Beyond that, a fine choice.

I arrived early in the morning and was able to check in to a very nice room on the 16th floor. The room was a bit on the small side but very charming and got a great view. All the lights had dimmers and the bed was unbelievably comfy! Most importantly, I can't say enough about the service and the friendliness of all the staff at the james. I never felt more welcome in any of my stays. thank you!
