We have stayed at The Willows in the Lincoln Park area several times. The lobby is small but feels elegant. The rooms are nice, though the bathrooms are small. The front desk staff are gracious and we feel welcome. It is on a residential street so it is generally quiet, but walking distance to restaurants and shops. It gets out... More

We are fans of the Broughton Hotels and prefer to stay in them when we can. They specialize in cozy, European-style hotels in great city neighborhoods, close to restaurants, shopping, nightlife and attractions - many within walking distance, and the rest easily accessed by nearby public transportation. The Willows is pretty much equidistant between the Fullerton and Belmont (Lincoln Park-Lakeview-Belmont/Boystown)... More

We stayed at the willows hotel for our honeymoon last week, and my Wife and I were astounded with the quality of customer service we were given upon arrival. We checked in late, and were suprised, yet so happy when Matt greeted and congratulated us and offered us a complimentary bottle of champagne! That was a great way to start... More

Have just returned from our most recent trip to Chicago and our fourth opportunity to stay at the Willows Hotel on 555 West Surf Street. This hotel improves with every visit. The Staff is excellent; Adrian and Tony were outstanding during our stay. They ensured all of our requirements were met, and assisted us with directions and suggestions to help... More

Came for one nite, found a very pleasant boutique hotel. Lucked with parking on street opposite front entrance for free. Personnel very friendly;clean , slightly dated decor. Bed excellent, room with king bed average size. Few amenities but nice continental breakfast. Would recommend, great location near Lincoln Park. Will return. More

Great restaurant and bars in the neighborhood. The staff is courteous and kind. Much love to Tony and Adrian as they gave great recommendations regarding the establishments close to the... More

Just back from a great 6-night stay at The Willows in the Lake View East neighbourhood. With very good quality accommodation and friendly and helpful staff I think this place is hard to beat. The Brown Line "El" is an easy half-mile or so walk, but the most convenient public transport to Downtown is to take the CTA bus. The... More

I can't say enough good things about the location of this hotel. It's on a quiet, beautiful residential street, but close to shopping and interesting restaurants (what'll it be: Persian? Turkish? Japanese? Mexican? locavore?) and an easy walk to the El. Much more restful than staying downtown, but much more convenient than staying out by O'Hare or in Evanston (my... More
