THE MIDLAND HOTEL, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Location and staff

My room was small and dark

Really nice hotel. I went to Chicago for only one night and the place was amazing. Good location, services and closed to the Union Sation. 100% recommended

It is a 9/10 for us. The hotel was beautiful but the shower was quite old. There was no middle point with the water of the shower. too hot or cold.

Great location, excellent service

Nothing—great stay

The host was very communicative and welcoming. He reached out before our arrival and came by to introduce himself when we got there, which I appreciated. The location was also nice and convenient.

Unfortunately, the accommodations themselves did not meet my expectations based on the listing. The listing describes a “patio,” but what is actually provided is more of a small stoop with no chairs or sitting area. The apartment is also located down a set of stairs and felt very much like a basement apartment. There was very little natural sunlight, which contributed to that feeling. I was also disappointed with the kitchen setup. There were no drinking glasses or cups available, and the host ultimately had his son bring me Solo cups to use for wine. Part of the Airbnb experience, in my opinion, is having the basic comforts of a home—being able to cook, use dishes, have a proper cup or glass, etc. The dishes and kitchenware also appeared quite old, with only one coffee cup and two spoons available. Cleanliness was my biggest concern. The linens had an odor, and I did not feel comfortable sleeping directly on the pillows. Thankfully, we had brought our own blankets and slept on top of the bedding. We also saw spiders in the bedroom, and there was noticeable dust and webbing throughout the bedroom. The space would benefit from a thorough deep cleaning. I want to emphasize that the host himself was kind, responsive, and welcoming. My concerns are specifically about the condition, cleanliness, and amenities of the property. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend
