Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“The Godfrey boasts a Cubist-inspired facade and a marble-clad elliptical lobby. The modern design aesthetic extends to the 221 rooms and suites, many of which have skyline views. A youthful atmosphere pervades the stylish hotel, as evidenced by the high-energy music playing in the lobby day and night.”

Telegraph review:

“The Godfrey pops eyeballs with its super-cool, Cubist-inspired architecture. Big, industrial-chic rooms and a sparkling, glass-encased bar add to the allure for the young and fashionable, as does the setting in a buzzy district of galleries, designers and nightlife.”

Best Stay in Chicago

The location was extremely convenient. Loved the decor and the rooms were amazing!! Loved the rooftop bar!

There was a loud noise coming from the mini fridge's motor. Something that could have been fixed except the hotel was booked. Other than that I was very pleased.

Clean and comfy, but some minor issues

The sleeping area and bathroom were very clean. They gave us sufficient toiletries (soap, shampoo, lotion) to work with during our stay. The shower hot water pressure was also pretty good. The bed and pillows were very comfy too. The minifridge in the room also wasn't noticeable at all our whole stay (aka no noise), which was a plus. Access to our room was easy (tap card key), and we didn't ever have too long of a wait for the elevator.

There were a couple of issues with weird plumbing noises. First, at random times (we guessed whenever someone else flushed), our toilet would start making a flowing sound. The second was that whenever someone was done with the shower, the drain would make a dripping sound (not the shower head). Last, one of the bathroom sinks didn't drain very well. To be fair, we didn't ask to do anything for these issues, but we felt like we shouldn't need to make sure the plumbing is in good order for the staff. We also arrived about 5 minutes after the checkin time (4:05 PM) and they let us know that our rooms wouldn't be ready for another 30 minutes. They were gracious about it, but I would be annoyed if I was arriving at the hotel tired, and I was told that my room wasn't ready at the checkin time. There was also a weird burnt incense smell in the hallway throughout our stay. We didn't really like it, but it wasn't in the rooms at all, so it wasn't a big deal.

Pleasant

The decor and comfy bed.

I don’t like that you have to make reservations to attend the bar/lounge as a guest at the hotel. I can see for outside customers but guest should be able to attend without any discretion.

There is a club at 4th floor. No noise but you see people in the lobby which was awkward with kids.

Charges were made to my Debit card without warning and I have still not received my money back. Staff were unable to give any reason for the charges but gave assurance I would be refunded. I will be following this up if I do not receive the money

I am Australian - not Canadian

helpful staff. I bought a bath robe because my surname is Godfrey. They were helpful

the room I was in was overall good but he shower recess needs work. Overall it would be good to have he restarurant on roof open for breakfasts. It is a great spot with great Chicago views. Chicago is a nice city and under rated in my opinion.

Won't go back. Lovely, clean, great view but for $$, no maid or room service is a real deal killer.

It's a lovely hotel but for the price we paid, it was shocking to receive no maid services or room services.

Maid service! Seriously, it can't be that hard to find good employees. I've stayed in a number of hotels this year and this was a real disappointment for the price we paid.

Perfect for a girls weekend away!

The size of the rooms were great! We were there for my bachelorette party. We stayed in separate rooms but could all fit comfortably when we wanted to be together before we went out.

The only downfall was the location. It was in the middle of the West Loop and shopping on Michigan Ave. It was easy to walk places but would have been more ideal if it was a little closer to things.

Really nice hotel in a great location.

Great location in the heart of the North Loop. Room was a clean, tastefully decorated and a good size, bed extremely comfortable.

Access to the rooftop bar for drinks was a joke. You had to pre-book your slot and pay in advance for drinks. You simply couldn’t just go for a drink as a resident which is strange. Restaurant on site was closed. However saying that you have a choice of bars and excellent restaurants within a few mins walk. Acknowledge the price of the hotel does include access to bar and restaurant so hard to access considering the above!!

Great location and comfy beds!

The bed was super comfy. I requested a quiet room and for the most part, it was - the hotel cannot be held accountable for inconsiderate and loud guests!!

There was no tea, just coffee, so had to go out and buy tea bags and milk.
