Friendly staff greeted us at the door. Pleasant staff everywhere. Bell boys are very helpful. Room was spotless and comfortable and roomy. I'm sure we got an upgrade because I mentioned (when I called the morning of our arrival from hours away) it was our anniversary. Good location - close to lots of downtown (Loop, Near North) hot spots. The... More

Hotepersonsl is centrally located. We asked for a quiet room at the back. The room was small and considering the price I think it was expensive. One queen bed, only one bedside light and table. Would not recommend. Would not return More

We stayed 4 nights, May 9-13. Hotel is well situated, close to all the train lines and Millennium Park, with Starbucks close in every direction and a CVS open early. Staff friendly and prompt to respond to requests. We were given a suite, consisting of a room with 2 queens and a room with 2 chairs and refrigerator. Lobby nice... More

We stayed at the Silversmith for two nights in May 2012 and found the hotel to be very good. We were checked in immediately and were offered lots of suggestions from the font desk staff on what to see and do in the area. The hotel is only a block from Michigan Ave and a 10 minute walk to Buckingham... More

We stayed at the Silversmith for 2 nights on our way across the USA by train. We were able to walk from Union Station and it was perfect for what we wanted. I would recommend it for people who want to be reasonably central and close to the El. The hotel is also an easy walk to sights on the... More

Disclosure: I've never NOT stayed at the Silversmith on a trip to Chicago. However, over the Easter weekend my wife and i decided to take the kids to Chicago for a long weekend...and i made the mistake of making a reservation at a new hostel that opening this year. It was considerably cheaper (meh) but the main attraction was having... More

I stayed here for 5 nights for a conference, and wasn't disappointed. The location is great. It was convenient to get the train from o'hare airport and walk to the hotel. Location is convenient for convention centre well as seeing the sights. Major plus points include the attached diner Ada's which I thought was excellent, and excellent inclusive Internet access....

Stayed for the first time at the Silversmith while in Chicago. Great location, the staff is so accommodating and kind, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Our room was in the back of the Hotel, we had NO noise of the city, or any other guests, at all. I will be staying again, and would highly recommend The Silversmith... More

As we were driving south on I-90; we called the hotel to ask for directions and valet parking ($49/night). They told us to exit on Washington and turn right on Wabash Ave. It was a good thing, because while we have a Garmin, once we got in between the tall buildings, the GPS signal was lost. It was very easy... More
