It's about 5 blocks to the subway station from the hotel. Use the train to go to the airport. It didn't take us a lot longer to get out to O'Hare by using the train, but saved about $50 by not taking a cab. If you can walk the 5 blocks with your luggage, take the train. It's $2.25 one way.

Great hotel

Cubs Fan Sep 3, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Our experience was great at the Affinia. Our only negative was that we enjoy a late snack after a long day of watching ... baseball or shopping. This was not available to us at this hotel. Other than that, we will definitely be back if the opportunity arises and the Suite we had was awesome as well. Great location, helpful staff, great housekeeping service as well. Only two blocks from the Red Line and only $40 from O'hare via a cab. No HD t.v. but that is just a nit picky thing for me.

GREAT location!

Happy Couple Aug 21, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Affinia. We read the reviews here before deciding where to stay. After our stay, we'd agree ... that most were fairly accurate. It was in an awesome location - for the subway, dining and shopping. The rooms were wonderful - quiet, clean and modern. Great HD TV! Of course, you are in DOWNTOWN Chicago - so you do hear sirens at various hours of the day/night. That's part of a BIG city! There is construction going on at a hospital addition next door, but noise ended by 5 pm. No problems with the AC or bathroom facilities - the shower was much more powerful than ours at home! It was very quiet on our floor. Never heard our neighbors. There were only 8 rooms on our floor, which made it seem like the hotel was smaller than it was. Probably the negatives were: VERY slow elevators (those reports are correct), pricey restaurant in hotel, no pool (but we knew that going in) and we couldn't seem to find out where to get ice. There was no ice machine on our floor and I guess we didn't call to find out where to get ice. Oh well, we survived. We would stay here again and are thinking of checking out their other locations in NYC and Washington.

Superb Hotel Experience

Brooklyn chic Jul 17, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

My husband and I visited Chicago for a wedding on July 12. The bridal party had blocked several rooms at the Ambassador East, ... but we chose the Affinia after reading reviews. We were not disappointed. It was our best stay ever. From the time we got out of our cab the doorman's enthusiastic welcome really made us feel special. We later observed that this type of treatment extended to practically every staff member we encountered. Personal service warranted my five stars. Many of the days were cool so my husband did not miss the pool too much. I do not like to swim so it was not a problem for me. They do not have a gym but they supply a basket of equipment plus video for the exercise lover. However the service and location were so excellent that my pool addicted husband said he would not stay anywhere else when in Chicago. The experience was that good. I highly recommend the place. I gave it five stars in spite of the pool and gym absence because our total experience was five star. We have been to five star hotels and were not catered to as much as the Affinia.

The Affinia was about 5 blocks to the train station and conveniently located to many upscale shops and restaurants. The bed ... was really comfortable and the concierge ([...]) was outstanding. He gave us tickets to events that were going on and gave really good advice on where to go eat and hang out for some drinks. The service was really fantastic and well worth the price to stay. We could not have asked for better accommodations. Loved it!

Most of the restaurants close to the Affinia are very upscale and very expensive. If you are able to walk a few (maybe 10) blocks to get out of the area, there are some good local places for people on a budget. We found a great little pizza place not far from the hotel called Eduardo's. Inexpensive, delicious, cute atmosphere, and friendly service. I think they also deliver.

THE LOCATION: Located just one block from the Magnificent Mile, the Affinia is in a perfect location for sightseeing, ... shopping, nightlife and dining. For the health nuts, Whole Foods is a just a few blocks away. Also, Walgreens is convienently located around the corner where you can stock up on snacks and beverages. THE GYM: The gym at the Affinia is fantastic, with up-to-date equipment, but you have to use a little muscle to enter and exit the gym since the door handle gets stuck. THE C LOUNGE: AVOID the roof top bar unless you like overpriced cocktails and poor service. Well they give good service to certain patrons and ignore others. THE ROOM /THE HOUSKEEPING: I found the Jr. Suite to be very comfortable, but it was dusty behind the couch and on some of the fixtures. Also, on one of the four nights I stayed at the Affinia, the housekeeper came very late in the afternoon to clean the room. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. 3 1/2 Stars.

Recreation/Attractions hint, Short Walk

1 Block from Michigan Ave, 2 blocks from Red Line and Rush Street. That's all you need to know!

Money savers hint, Short Walk

It's about 5 blocks to the subway station from the hotel. Use the train to go to the airport. It didn't take us a lot longer to get out to O'Hare by using the train, but saved about $50 by not taking a cab. If you can walk the 5 blocks with your luggage, take the train. It's $2.25 one way.

--Discerning Traveler, Arkansas Jul 22, 2009

Dining hint

Most of the restaurants close to the Affinia are very upscale and very expensive. If you are able to walk a few (maybe 10) blocks to get out of the area, there are some good local places for people on a budget. We found a great little pizza place not far from the hotel called Eduardo's. Inexpensive, delicious, cute atmosphere, and friendly service. I think they also deliver.

Nightlife hint, Short Drive

Second City - the funniest comedy show I've seen in a LONG time!

Money savers hint

Skip the cab from the airport and catch the train instead for only $2.25 and it lets you off just a few short blocks from the hotel.

--Fancy Free, SF Bay Area Jul 11, 2009

Recreation/Attractions hint, Short Walk

definitely go to a Cubs game but also take "The Untouchables" and "Chicago Film Tour" tours.

--Bill, Newport Beach, CA Jul 7, 2009

Recreation/Attractions hint, Long Walk

The complimentary Affinia trolley to and from Navy Pier run on the weekend only. The city provides free trolley service along Grand Avenue and Ontario (both are close enough to the hotel), but you can actually walk the route in 10-15 minutes.

Dining hint, Long Walk

eat at fronterra grill. the best mexican food in the city. about a 10 minute walk.

--young family, MA Jul 1, 2009

Nightlife hint, Short Walk

the roof top bar is a great place to hang out at night, its crowded but the atmosphere is cool. a bit pricier, but what do you really expect from a hotel bar on the roof? There are also many clubs and bars in downtown a few blocks away from the hotel, if you dont want to walk a few blocks, you can just grab a cab, its not worth much since youre really not moving far.

--ghost, dfw, tx Jun 30, 2009

Shopping hint, Short Walk

There's a 6 story mall just around the corner at the Ritz-Carlton.

--Occasional Traverler, Philadelphia, PA Jun 28, 2009

Recreation/Attractions hint, Short Walk

If you like bicycling, this is a great city to bike in and around. The lake trail was spectacular. Even city riding is practical and a great way to get around. Bikes can be rented from the Navy Pier or on the Riverwalk.

--FamilyfromAndover, Andover, MA Jun 25, 2009

Dining hint

We eat Thai food and found the Silver Spoon to be less than average but cheap. VTK vongs thai kitchen on Hubbard near the Grand stop on the Red Line was very good.Ginos East right next to the hotel was good but not worth watinig in line for.

--Smally, Kitchener Canada Jun 16, 2009

Entertainment hint, Long Walk

You have to take the Chicago Food Planet Food Tour. It is so creative , delicious, unique, and entertaining. Best thing to do in Chicago!
