"Beautiful hotel, but so overcrowded and chaotic. The lobby was nice to hang out in during the day, but at night it turned into a bad Vegas nightclub packed with drunk people. Don't get me wrong, I like a party every now and then, but at $600+ per night, it would be nice to have some areas to relax and escape the noise/chaos without having to hole up in your room. Music is blasting everywhere, the pool is tiny with lots of kids, and drinks are expensive. Not worth it."

"My family and I stayed at the Hoxton Hotel Chicago in August 2026, and I want to give a clear warning to anyone considering it: this is a very noisy hotel. The rail line runs directly alongside the building, and the overall atmosphere is loud, crowded, and geared toward a younger party oriented crowd. If you’re in the 55+ age group or simply prefer a quiet, relaxing stay, this hotel is not for you. This is not a place for children or pets, The lobby, bar, and dining areas are constantly packed with people coming in off the street for drinks, music, and socializing. As a paying guest, I often felt unseen. Staff were not very helpful and seemed inattentive, and we were unable to enjoy amenities like the rooftop pool because it was always overcrowded. You could barely walk across the pool deck without stepping over someone. The downstairs bar was standing-room-only most evenings, making it impossible to enjoy the music. To be fair, the hotel does have a boutique feel, and the morning baristas were excellent — truly the highlight of our stay. Mornings were the only time the hotel felt calm and enjoyable before the crowds arrived. One moment that made me uncomfortable was when a stranger who wasn’t a guest asked me to use my room key to get him up to the rooftop pool. Encounters like that reinforced the feeling that the hotel caters more to outside visitors than to its actual guests. For anyone seeking a peaceful, restful stay, I cannot recommend the Hoxton Hotel Chicago. My family and I will not be staying here again."

"Great hotel conveniently located to many shops, restaurants and bars that are must-hits while in Chicago! Rooftop pool is a gem, and surprisingly chill during the week - very easy to get a spot on a chaise and hang for hours."

"The Hoxton is a must stay! The entire place has a great vibe. The people who work there are great as well. I was there on a business trip with a group but I would totally want to return for a personal stay. 10/10 stars for sure!!!"

"Location is fairly decent! Can't complain. Atmosphere - if you're not dressed to the nines, you'll probably feel uncomfortable staying here on weekends Rooms - Pretty, but non functional. Fridge fits 2 bottles of water, no microwave, not enough hangers / no closet, minimal drawer space since the fridge and safe both take up a drawer in the dresser. TVs are outdated. Value - NOT WORTH IT. Cleanliness - no complaints here! Noise level - Not bad in the rooms. you'll hear it in the hallways but you'd also expect that for a hotel that has bars and restaurant. Service - Responsive front desk, but they're condescending and not quick to address actual concerns. Amenities - Didn't see really any snack options, ice machines, vending machines for drinks/snacks, etc."
