The hotel is nice especially the lobby area however there were a few things that need improvement. 1. The AC didn't cool the room properly and we had trouble getting the fan to blow. 2. There was no iron or ironing board that most places even Motel 6 provide. We had a steamer but it didn't work well. 3. No coffee in the room. I really don't want to come down to get a cup from the 7th floor. 4. No pool and the gym was puny and not worth using. 5. This was the biggest issue for us there was no laundry room. We were blessed that the Hampton across the street let us use their washer and dryer. All we had to do was insert our debit card. Felix only has a laundry service that's $1 a pound with a $25 minimum. Who has that much laundry on vacation?

Loved it. Super nice. Super clean. Friendly staff. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that they didn't have a refrigerator or Microwave in the rooms. Also didn't have parking. We had to Pay for valet parking each night so keep that in mind when booking. Wonderful place to stay still.

Property was clean, room was very small and shower curtain was too short so bathroom would get flooded after each shower. Front desk staff never greeted when you walked into hotel. The hotel charges $26 urban fee which includes coffee, tea and fruits in the morning: you get oranges and apples and bananas if you get up early. The hotel is in a convenient location, you can walk to everywhere.

This one was great. The only complaint I have is it is $100 fee and they have a destination fee. That’s like $26 a day and they’ll deduct it from the hundred dollar deposit that you put on the room so depending on how long you stayyou won’t get back much And the valet is $73 a day and you have to pay for breakfast but other than that it’s a great location and there is cheaper parking down the street not a far walk. It’s pretty close to everything. Nothing is really a far walk so it’s nice. but you’re close to a lot of things Overall I will stay here again the room did get a little stuffy sometimes but overall, I would stay here again because everything went right

The staff at this hotel were exceptionally welcoming and provided great service. However, the rooms were smaller than expected, and the shower's water temperature was difficult to regulate, offering only very hot or very cold options. Cleanliness could also be improved; the shower area needed better attention upon our arrival. Overall, this hotel is suitable for a short stay, but might not be ideal for longer vacations

The rooms have no charm, are extremely small (you can barely put the seat in front of the desk!). Bathroom and floor are clearly outdated. They ask you an extra fee for "coffee, hot water and gym" which you have for free in many hotels,and not available all day, but just in the morning (except expresso) no kettle in the room. Bottles available at $8. It looks like they try to save on everything they can. The doors are very loud and you can hear everything that happen in the corridors. Besides all these bad sides, the hotel/room is clean and staff very available and kind, but no enough to make me come back.

Shower was broken in my room and would only produce scalding hot water or ice water. Not kidding, when I stuck my hand under the water for literally a second, it came back bright red. This is even after adjusting the nob and waiting for it to fix. I told the front desk because this made the shower unusable and unsafe (seriously, a person could be badly hurt). I wasn’t offered another room, they just said they’d have someone try to fix it. Second day I was there, still not fixed. Spent $500 for a crappy bed in a tiny room and having to bathe in the sink. Contacted management to ask for even just a partial refund for the fact that I couldn’t bathe properly in their room. No response. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was still broken. Do not recommend.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience! Good 4-star hotel, I would definitely come back! The location of the hotel is fantastic! Had train and bus lines available no more that a couple of blocks away. McDonald’s, Target, Walgreens one block away. Michigan Ave 10 minutes away walking. Room was clean and neat! Shutters served well to blackout the room at night, bed and pillows were super comfy! Enjoyed the TV as well! Vending and ice machines both available in my floor. Reception was very helpful! Things that I didn’t understand or enjoyed: $26 dollar ‘Urban fee’ for “fresh fruit, coffee and tea”, business centre and gym - didn’t use any of those and the amount of the fee is a little high. Details in the room like torn curtains, old plaster not removed behind the soap/shampoo in the shower, very big office chair next to mirror, wireless phone not charging correctly. “Eco-friendly” hotel, I didn’t see any pro-environment features. There was no daily cleaning, but that’s not eco-friendly itself, that’s only cleaning on-demand. I would definitely come back!

Enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Felix. Friendly staff, clean rooms with skin and haircare products, so you’re covered if you leave your body wash or shampoo at home by mistake. My only gripe is the rooms are a bit small and the hotel charges what it calls an urban fee ($26) for essential and non-essential amenities, which offering apples and oranges in the hotel bar area and happy hour with only a wine and beer is pretty mediocre.

Our room phone didn't work, there was no handset cord. We tried to crack open the window and the glass panel literally came unhinged. There was never anyone working the cafe downstairs. They had free fruit available in the morning, but it was only apples and oranges (the oranges seemed to be old and soft). Directory function in the room TV didn't work, and the TV or remote was so slow it was painful to try and navigate the channels. The standing shower in our room was so shallow the entire bathroom floor got wet. This place wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the nice hotel in the city that I expected. The staff was nice, the lobby is cute, and they have cheap wine at happy hour. Got the job done, but not a 4-star hotel.
