About Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile
The Courtyard Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile is noted for its amazing and great location, right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance of the Magnificent Mile shopping, the lake, parks, food, shops, and dozens of fantastic restaurants and entertainment. The hotel itself is described as a great property, with a lobby that smells good like vanilla. Guests frequently praise the staff as being very friendly, helpful, polite, professional, and fantastic, ensuring a great experience even when the hotel is very busy. Rooms are often reported as very spacious, fresh, clean, super clean and quiet, and perfect, with comfortable furniture. The hotel offers a nice pool and a well-equipped fitness center. Secure parking is available, though using nearby parking garages can be more economical. An on-site Starbucks is also appreciated.
