  • Overall: Rating of 4.0 out of 5

    "I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for reasonably priced accommodations with pleasant views but don't expect anything spectacular and don't let the hotel's web site pictures fool you." source Skoosh

    "All in all a great place to stay and close to all Chicago highlights including Michigan Ave, Navy Pier and the lakefront." source Orbitz

    "All lights in room were controlled by dimmers, which made a very nice atmosphere with the city's nighttime skyline." source Travelocity

    "Staff was friendly and overall it was an excellent value." source Expedia

    "They made our trip very enjoyable and I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends." source Orbitz

  • Clean: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Neat tall flower and mushroom-styled lamps in the lobby, a chrome and glass bar in the lounge, an incredibly spacious room with a French-inspired divan instead of a couch and a king-sized bed and all the amenities." source Travelocity

    "The room was very clean and comfortable." source Expedia

    "But the rooms were big, the beds were comfy, the bathrooms were clean, the staff was friendly and the location was excellent." source Travelocity

    "they are clean, not huge, but clean and comfy." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.2 out of 5

    "They could upgrade their TV service, they have very little to choose from and when you are just sitting in your room it would be nice to have more variety. They have room service which is pretty good and also Bella Bacino's is next door and has really good italian food." source Orbitz

    "The hotel has no bar, no restaurant, and room service closes early. There were no vending machines or in room mini bars to get any type of drink (water or whatever) after room service closed." source Travelocity

    "Very friendly crew offering a good deal of services at the lobby (post office, bag holders, etc)." source Expedia

    "I received a renovated room upon request, used the new exercise/gym facility, and had excellent experience with room service." source Travelocity

    "great location, in the middle of everything, definitly upgrade to a river view suite, it is worth the money." source Expedia

    "Hotel 71 has great decor and great location; but that is where it ends." source Travelocity

    "Beautiful view of the Chicago river and a convienient location." source Expedia

  • Value: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "Yeah, I'm from out of town, but thought I'd warn the other out of towners to factor parking into the cost of your stay." source Travelocity

    "Have stayed in Chicago 10 times and consider this not one of the better hotel in chicago especially for the cost." source Travelocity

    "I thought this would be a great hotel at a cheap price, but definitely not." source Travelocity

    "Chicago offers so many better options in this price range." source Travelocity

    "Would definitely stay again if the price was right." source Travelocity
