I'd been searching for a cool, non-chain hotel for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. I thought I'd found a winner in the Affinia... SOO disappointed!! In spite of the fact that our reservation was for two adults, we arrived to find our room had a DOUBLE bed. What?! I was floored, but after a delayed flight and a 2 hour cab ride, was too tired to make a fuss. We were hungry after all the delays and planned on attending an event that night, so we called for room service hoping to keep it simple. I was told that room service would call ME back to take my order...and nothing happened. I didn't want to be late to our event so we ended up going to the restaurant downstairs. Nothing special; entree, dessert and NAB for two still came out to $*...I am no hayseed, I'm WELL aware that everything costs more in Chicago, but this just wasn't worth it. Our room was by the elevator w/ parking garage view...the bathroom was tiny, shower curtain was stained, funky toilet seat/lid, and the vanity featured that "rude awakening" lighting normally found in low-rent dressing rooms, i.e., "Holy crap, have I looked that bad this whole time?!" If you're a traveler who likes using the in-room coffeemaker, they charge for their chintzy coffees (I don't use these, but... come on). Nice enough ambience in the upstairs bar, but weak drinks... That night, our bed was so tiny and uncomfortable that I almost asked to switch rooms. But the Marathon was that weekend; the hotel was so busy I didn't want to be a pest. I can't believe I was so impressed with this place online. Next time I'll happily pay more to stay someplace that's actually a treat.

Pros- All my experience at Affinia was very good. We were very pleased with the hotel employees, the room, the service, and the location. The staff had great smiles and friendly and very helpful. The location is right next to Mag Miles and Nave Pier, and Bus stop and Train station also a couple min away. Great location! Cons - There are only 2 elevators avail to higher floor (above 8th) in 24 story building. It took average 2-3 min waiting period. (and, it is a small, fit only 7-8 people max) C-bar and C-House (restaurent) were great. Not much a city view because it is surrouned by buildings, but still We loved the atmosphere. Overall, It was great stey. ;)

All in all my experience at Affinia was very good. The only downside to my stay was the fact that for some reason I could not pick up any cell reception once I entered the lobby. The staff was very friendly and the location for shopping was excellent. It is also close to a train station if you want to travel that way around the city.

The Wonderful Affina

Having never heard of the Affina I didn't know what to expect but I do always trust travel on line ratings. This place is gorgeous. The rooms are spacious (not your typical boutique hotel), the night life at the upstairs bar is fun and lively. The staff was extremely helpful and curteous. I definitely would stay there again and think I have found my home in Chicago when I go from now on. My only gripe would be the speed of the elevators (especially on Friday & Saturday evenings due to the upstairs lounge). If you make it a point to always go ahead and "squeeze in" then you should be alright.
