Just OK in comparison to other similarly priced hotels.
Big roomie bathroom and bedroom. Space to walk around for two people without feeling cramped.
Cafe very overpriced. Not a good value for a convenience meal.

Awesome stay in Chicago
Charming old hotel, comfortable bed, nice shower, clean, and courteous staff. Located in a safe and pretty neighborhood. Convenient to all the sites, and also let us store our bags for a late night departure.

How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

Questions about Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago

What time is check-in and check-out at Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago?

Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.

Does Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Can I book a block of rooms at Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago?

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.

Does Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Millennium Hotel Knickerbocker Chicago?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
