We didn’t know where to even start our trip, or even know where to stay. After looking at our options we decided on Hotel EMC2. And it was the best decision we could’ve made to stay at.

Beds very comfy. Staff really friendly. Great location and some great food/coffee places near by. Quite pricey given our room had a view facing a couple of building but would stay again. Aubrey the ‘bellman’ was great with us, sorting our bags and taxi - certainly put a smile on our face.

I really enjoyed my stay here, the staff was so friendly and very attentive. Raquel checked me in and was so helpful. The robots that deliver housekeeping items were cute and definitely different. The area was pretty quiet and felt removed from the downtown/River North location but still close enough to walk for shoppi...

We'd like to thank you for posting your review on Tripadvisor and express our gratitude for taking the time to acknowledge our super friendly staff! We are looking forward to seeing you again when your travels bring you back to Chicag...
Serviceable, yet pricey. Out of date gym, no coffee in lobby and they do not clean your room unless you specifically request it which you don’t know when you check in on the app unless you read the fine print email. Bonvoy regulars should avoid this hotel, not really sure what justifies the stay.

Dear Andrew K Thank you for staying with us, and my sincere apologies that we did not meet your expectations on this visit. I completely understand your frustration regarding daily housekeeping service and we need to do a better job of communicating with you that housekeeping service is based on request during the ...
The staff is first rate. The robots are fun. The room/bed is very comfortable ! The location was perfect for shopping and food. I would definitely stay here again next time in town. The bar next door is nice for a drink - not much in the way of bar food but I understand they are expanding their food service soon. ...

I liked the quirky qualities. The room is stylish and clean. The bar was nice. I like dark and cozy. IM SERIOUSLY PISSED THOUGH!! A week later I still have a 195 $ and 295 $ hold on my card. It was a hotels tonight free night but a week. ? I think management has some work to do.

Kitchen not operational. Only place to eat late at night, late travel- is a pub- fried food. I don't want beef jerky sent to me by a tincan robot. LOUSY. Have to wait 30 minutes to get a receipt sent to me. WIll never stay at this placea again.

Dear Traveler4005: Thank you for staying with us and my apologies that we did not meet your expectations on your recent visit. I would like to connect with you to discuss your stay, and I sent you a message via Tripadvisor.
It is a Marriott that tries to be edgy and quirky, with unusual decor (that is not particularly easy on the eyes), science-themed art, and robots. I think Marriott over-invested in trying to hip, but under-invested in customer service and comfort. Those are always more important. It wasn’t bad. Bed very comfortable. Lo...

Horrible customer service. Watch out for Cooper at the front desk. He is rude, disrespectful and taunted and antagonized myself and my husband after an interaction we had with him while we were trying to resolve the issue with the front desk manager. The most amazing part about it was he acted like that in front of his...

Good Morning Ms. Anderson: Thank you for staying with us, and our sincere apologies that the current City of Chicago indoor masking guidance negatively impacted your experience with a team member at the front desk. Our front office manager informed us that you had the opportunity to connect yesterday, and you were abl...
Nice hotel in a central downtown area - within a 10-30 minute walk to just about everything you'll want to do downtown. Not as nice as River North, but very reasonably priced by comparison. Room was nice and clean and of average size. As mentioned by others, the shower is in the center of the room and is glass. T...

Hotel EMC2 went above and beyond to provide great service to me. Erika from management was so kind. I loved the robes there so much that I reached out and I bought one that she shipped one to me that I couldn't buy online anywhere else! Very modern, tech forward and fun, swanky hotel that I would surely revisit. Thanks...

We stopped by at a last minute decision, hoping to experience the open spa bathroom from floor to ceiling and the room we got did not have the open spa bathroom as displayed. The room we got is across from the elevators which is probably why bathroom design may be different as well as structure of building. Quite unf...

Unless you travel alone. You should consider this hotel, because the bathroom is a voyeur style, it does not have privacy, you must take the bath in front of everyone, it has nothing elegant or modern, it is more of a cheap style to save money and gain space in the room.

Thank you for your recent stay with us and this review elskate. We do apologize if the room style wasn't your preference. Our bathroom does have a voyeur design style, but each room is equipped with a designer privacy curtain that does cover the entire bathroom and shower for privacy reasons. We do apologize once again...
We stayed here 4 nights, the whole hotel is dark. Rooms not that big but with a terrible vieuw , a dirty wall. Staff is not helpfull if you arrive with many luggage. Should train the staff in client service. Location is very good but totally overpriced hotel

Dear Malineephuket: Thank you for staying with us, and my sincere apologies that we did not meet your expectations. We have used your feedback to improve our service. If your travels bring you back to Chicago, I hope you give us another opportunity.
This is a worthwhile hotel for your stay in Chicago, for a number of reasons. First, the central location is excellent. The Magnificent Mile (including the very worthwhile Starbucks Reserve Roastery) are just a few blocks away. In the other direction, you're only a few blocks from the lakefront and Navy Pier. All o...

If I could give this hotel 10 stars I would. When we first got there the room wasn’t not ready but that was fine we did arrive earlier than planned. But they staff was friendly and helpful and we were able to leave our bags their until the room was ready and while we grabbed a late lunch. Once we got back to the hotel...

Just spent a week here for a family Chicago vacation. The rooms were really nice. Good size rooms. Beds were really comfortable. Our kids loved the unique touches around the hotel from the iPhone gramophone speaker in the rooms to the robots that bring stuff to your rooms. My little son loved Cleo/Leo and made us order...

If you are visiting Chicago downtown, the EMC2 is your hotel! We stayed on the 21st floor in a King Room and were pleased with our visit. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The rooms were tidy and clean. If you need towels, tissues or anything else, you can simply ask Alexa (amazon echo dot in each room). Cleo ...
