We loved our stay at Sports Illustrated Resorts in Chicago. All of the staff were friendly and willing to assist with anything. We were able to get an early check in and could keep our bags at the hotel on our last day, which was all really helpful. The rooftop bar was a hit! Pretty awesome you can get free food and drinks included with your reservation, that sometimes you don’t even see at more mainstream hotels. Would recommend!

It was okay for our four night stay, gave me and my sister a place to sleep at least. There's no daily houskeeping and some of the furniture was dirty. Staff was friendly and helpful. An alright place to book if you don't spend much time in the hotel room, which is easy because of its location; its close to the train station and tourist areas.

The hotel was nice and the room was mostly comfortable. However, there were some oddities that were missing including no towel bars and no refrigerator. Additionally, a planned "Tailgating Event" on Saturday prior to a White Sox game was to start at 10:00 a.m and go to 2:00 or until the food ran out. Before 11:00 am there were only a dozen strips of bacon and some bread.
