Nobu Hotel Chicago

Negatives: Not much, the stay was really good. Water in the wellness would be nice, especially because the sign says "make sure to stay hydrated before and after going into the steam room".

Negatives: The suite — not really a suite, just a large room — faces a noisy railway line. It had woefully inadequate sound insulation. I barely slept. The duty manager offered me a “noise cancellation machine” (which means they know they have a problem) but what actually came was one of those devices that makes sounds that some people find soothing — waves or some other white noise. I didn’t want MORE noise and to block out the sound from the frequent commuter train it would’ve needed to be on full volume and even then I doubt it would have been loader than the train. I checked out the following morning (instead of staying there 5 nights). The comped dinner.

Negatives: Little out of the centre

Negatives: The location is great for its vicinity to restaurants and shops but is has become extremely loud at night.

Negatives: At this price breakfast should be included. Our rug border had a large tear in it. I don’t like the hotel’s appropriation of “Zen Experience “ as a marketing tool. It’s inaccurate and awkward.

Negatives: basin cold water not working, tap loose, insufficient power outlets near work station, room lighting incredibly dim even after selecting bright button, room lacks many facilities and you find yourself contacting reception time and time again. ie kettle.

Negatives: we can here the noise from the bar upstairs from our room in the middle of the night.

Negatives: Lighting in the bathroom is very dim from a female perspective and too dark for applying makeup. Luckily I travel with my own lighted makeup mirror.
