At Silversmith Hotel Chicago Downtown, travelers consistently praise the central Loop location and welcoming staff, while noting spacious, comfortable rooms; a number also mention train noise from the nearby “L” and furnishings or tech that feel a bit dated.

Cleanliness is often rated highly, though several reviews cite dust, hair or maintenance issues and occasional damp or drafty rooms. The lobby bar earns praise and free drink vouchers are a plus, though breakfast can be slow or expensive; parking is costly and housekeeping is not always daily.

The location was great as it was just a few blocks away from millennium park. The gym facilities were great too. Be aware if you book a reservation that “includes breakfast “ it really means a $40/day voucher at the hotel restaurant. The rooms are also small but adequate as we did not spend much time there

It was at night is when the creepy crawlies came out. But that isn’t the hotel’s fault, it’s the mayor’s fault.

Recently, I visited your hotel for a business stay. I frequent the area often and was excited to try a new hotel in a great location. Upon entering the hotel was beautiful with an old school charm. The front desk attendant was with another guest when I arrived. When it was my turn, the attendant was kind, courteous and great customer service. The check in process was efficient. I also visited the restaurant that evening. There were 3 guests at the bar when I arrived and 1 bartender. She was courteous and my cocktail was delicious and well made. I also ordered food that was well made, fresh and extremely flavorful. The staff and customer service was great each time I visited the restaurant, walked past the front desk, received a bucket of ice or received towels from the housekeeper. However, the hotel common areas and my hotel room need a deep clean. There were concerning signs of lack of upkeep throughout the property - such as dingy paint in the hallways and doorframes. I saw at least 4 different strands of hair that weren’t mine in the bathroom. There was dust on the bathroom countertop which is a concerning indication leaving me wondering if water is used regularly on the countertop. This was in addition to the dust collected inside the lamps. Overall, the staff and setup of the property is nice. But, cleanliness was below standard.

While the staff were friendly and helpful this is a tired property. Room and lobby Decor is outdated, peeling wall paper and badly scuffed and marred surfaces on couches etc. The room smelled strongly of cigarettes necessitating maintaining AC at too cold a temperature. While they list a restaurant on site we saw zero evidence on a Saturday night of any meal service. The bar had a few guests, all despite a huge NASCAR event in town. The room was quiet despit being adjacent to the EL, the bed was comfortable but linens were stained. I would not stay here again.

The hotel is very affordable and in a good location, being right near Millennium park and lots of things to do within walking distance. The hotel was clean and the staff was very helpful. The negatives were the bed sizes, double/full instead of queen. And due to the humidity (it was in the high 90s) the carpet was damp our entire stay. I didn’t say anything about this to the staff because I didn’t figure they had any control over it. Turning our AC down did not help at all.

I feel like the hotel needs a renovation. We had soap scum in our shower, the seal for our bathroom shower needed to be replaced - water seeped out whenever the shower is on, there were cobwebs above the curtains, and it felt dirty and dated everywhere in our room. You can also hear the train and traffic outside even though we were were told the windows were double-paned. I guess it is a city, so it’s unavoidable, but I’ve stayed at other hotels where the noise was a lot less. Elevators are scary and might need to be maintenanced. The door rattles a lot when going up and down. Other than that, the hotel staff was very friendly.

The staff was AMAZING! Beverly and Rene at the front desk both went above and beyond to help me get what I needed to settle on. Both were warm, welcoming, and friendly. Renee at the bar was super sweet as well. The guys at the valet (I didn’t get their names, I’m sorry) helped flag down a cab for me when the one I ordered didn’t show. Five stars for the staff! The lobby and bar areas are lovely. The room itself was comfortable, although the alley view left a bit to be desired. The lack of sunlight was disappointing by morning two. Even with the train right outside the hotel, the room was quiet. My only real complaints about the room were the poor water pressure in the shower and the lack of USB ports. I haven’t stayed in a hotel room (especially a $200 per night room) that didn’t have at least one USB port somewhere in the room. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend the Silversmith to others.

Our trip started off worrisome. We had a concert to be at by 6pm. We arrived at 3pm and our room wasn’t ready. They told us that the hotel was oversold and that was why. We finally got into our room after 4pm. We were given free breakfast vouchers for one day, although when I look back on my reservation, I had already upgraded my reservation to come with daily breakfast. I never received that. We had a premium junior suite because we have 2 children traveling with us. We asked for an extra comforter for the child staying on the pull out couch. Because they were oversold, they had no extra blankets, until about 8pm when someone finally found the last thin blanket in the hotel and brought it to us. We paid for 3 nights. After night 2, our cards stopped working. We had them reactivated. Someone came up to our room a couple hours later and told us we needed to check out and we didn’t have a reservation for this night. Went down to front desk and handled that. Now comes the big one. My husband and child went out to a concert this night. When they arrived back at the hotel at midnight, their cards didn’t work yet again and they couldn’t get into the hotel room. Myself and other child were asleep in room. He asked front desk for help, and without checking the woman told him she couldn’t do anything as he wasn’t on the room. He asked how he was supposed to get to room and still offered no help. She threatened to call the cops on him and our 15 year old daughter

We stay here every year for the Chicago Blues Festival due to the Silversmith's proximity to Millennium Park. Beverly at the front desk is a gem and always so friendly and helpful. Enrique is also an asset. The hotel is lovely, clean and the rooms are relatively spacious and comfortable. However, the service in the restaurant was extremely slow and the morning coffee was a long time coming and then we had to wait for creamer. We ended up going out for breakfast due to the long wait times. While we plan on returning there for next year's festival, we hope thar the breakfast/coffee issue will be rectified by then.

Amazing Stay & Great Customer Service! We had such a great experience at Silver Smith Hotel. The staff was welcoming and accommodating from the moment we arrived. We got there earlier than expected, around 1 p.m., and the hotel manager was kind enough to let us check in early so we didn’t have to wait around with our luggage until the usual 4 p.m. check-in. That was a huge help after traveling! At checkout, they also held our bags for us, which made it super convenient since our flight wasn’t until later that afternoon. The customer service overall was excellent. We also loved the vouchers they provided, which could be used for drinks or food at their on-site restaurant — definitely a nice bonus during our stay. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with great hospitality.

The hotel service was excellent. The room was spotless and clean, and the location of the SilverSmith Hotel is perfect. It’s in the heart of the loop, just a few blocks off Millennium Park. You really can’t ask for a better location. The only tiny pet peeve I had was that the TV and cable service were slightly outdated, but I really don’t vacation or travel to watch TV, so it was extremely minor.

We absolutely love the Silversmith. The location can’t be beat. You are walking distance to almost everything. The L is right out the front door if you are venturing farther. The staff and concierge Victor are top notch and the star of their staff is Renee who is the best bartender on the planet. That being said we noticed several areas that need some TLC, chipped paint(I’m sure from the carts) and torn carpet. They do collect a historic preservation fee so maybe that could be used to shine her up! Also remember to bring your charging cords and cubes. Our room had zero ports.

The Bean, Navy Pier, Lake Michigan walk path, magnificent mile, Chicago River for river walk. Staff was great, talk to Beverly at the front desk for attraction suggestions. She kindly advised not to take the green line anywhere. Hotel provided good hot coffee downstairs. A coffee maker and fridge was provided in our room.
