The Highlands of Elgin

We loved the Pendry!

This is a beautiful hotel with lots of amenities that feel kind of luxurious. We especially loved the huge tub in our room. Also, the staff was amazing. One gripe we had is that we paid quite a bit more for a lake view room and we were on the eighth floor, which did not really afford much of a view. We called the front desk to see if we could get a higher floor and they said there was nothing available, but they did bring us a bottle of wine to compensate. I know someone has to be on the lower floors, but it seems that if you are going to pay more for a view they should make sure you are on a higher floor. Other than that, we would definitely stay here again and would recommend!

This was our first time at Level Chicago -Old Town. Last year we stayed at Level Chicago - North. Both apartments were really cozy and offered amazing views of the city. Old Town is a great place to stay, the staff overall was professional and polite. The unit was mostly clean, however, some of the towel were stained (seemed like he make up did not come off with bleach). It wasn't to my liking so I did not use them. Also, they knew we were six people but only gave 4 bath towels. I had to request additional. Another thing is that the locks in the bathroom and bedrooms were not working. It was a bit frustrating considering 6 people were sharing one bathroom. The apartment itself is very comfortable, has washer and dryer on site, which is convenient, especially when staying with children. The kitchen was equipped with all the basic needs except a good coffee machine. They have a nespresso machine but I would have rather an actual coffee machine not espresso machine. Safety was key. My family and I felt safe in the building and the area. Parking was not available in the building (the cost is $70 per night) but that wasnt an issue because we found plenty of parking right outside by the meters.
