The Wheeler Mansion

Our stay at the wheeler mansion was an amazing experience. Didn’t feel like a hotel, it was more like a get away vacation.

This is our second time to stay here. It was a great time from start to finish. Great food too! We will be back. We enjoyed learning of the history of the mansion.

It is not worthy to pay that much for the room.(maybe half price would be acceptable )The room was so dark and made me feel not comfortable. And didn’t clean for several days. I would not stay there at all.

I reserved a stay to attend a business function at McCormick Place. Very friendly host for the whole stay. The building inside and out was beautiful. Wonderful breakfast served each morning. This was a gem of a place to stay in. Thank you for the wonderful experience! Highly recommend!

Close to venue, walkable, parking frustrating but normal for big city.

Fantastic boutique hotel experience, with quiet, beautifully adorned rooms, delicious breakfasts, friendly service (thanks David), and 5min walk to McCormick Place Conference Center. Highly recommend to anyone interested in alternative to large hotel experience.

What a great place to stay in Chicago if you want a quiet place to relax and rest!

Great service

From the moment we checked in we admired the high ceilings, beautiful artwork, gorgeous antique furniture, and stately grace of the Wheeler Mansion. Our host was very gracious, and we were pleased with our room and the overall ambience of the estate. Our bathroom was luxurious and spotless, and the breakfast delicious and filling. We were within easy walking distance of Michigan Avenue and the lakeshore, and the neighborhood was very safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wheeler is 100% full of charm, and a very nice place to stay. But someone needs to put some money back into it. And train staff. During my stay we had some pretty good rain storms, and water came in behind the window and ran out on the sills. They also had some leakage in the main room. One of the antique chairs was soaked through. Service was questionable too. I never had my room cleaned, even after leaving the "refresh" sign on my door. When I checked in, the attendant wasn't very forthcoming with info, including correct time for breakfast and the access code to the internet. I had to call down to get it. Also, she kept my drivers license. And I didn't even notice until dinner that night. Luckily I didn't need it. I got it back that night. Additionally, when I got to my room initially, there were no washcloths, no robe, and old soap shavings in the soap dish in the shower. And, their answer to shampoo is to have a pump bottle on the counter next to the sink. But there is no place to put the bottle in the shower except the soap dish. Which I knocked off and broke it. Breakfast was great one morning, and extremely mediocre the other two. Dry eggs and not so great sausage. Plenty of fresh fruit, but no great breakfast food. Also, they didn't have any creamer, powder or otherwise for the coffee. Just flavored coffee and sugars. All three mornings. And the lighting was pitiful. I don't know how my wife would have put makeup on. I could barely shave.
