Excellent location for my meeting. Right next to the L line that goes to Midway airport. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room itself was excellent. Really everything we expect in a Doubletree hotel. The only drawback was we could hear our neighbors very well in the adjoining room. We would still consider returning to stay. As always, love the cookies! Collapse

Stayed at the Wit in Chicago for four days, three nights. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make sure my kids were happy with the stay. The room was large, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. We loved the location as it was within walking distance to the Field Museum and Navy Pier. We did not eat the restaurants in the hotel so cannot comment on them. Collapse

Well, as I get ready to check out this morning I must say that this was a wonderful location for our National Sales meeting this year. We were a group of about 115 people, so we were a pretty good sized crowd to have "baby-sit". My check in went smoothly. The woman who did this was smooth, efficient and very friendly. She is an asset to this hotel. The king room that I had was clean and well appointed. As I was on the 10th floor the view was not spectacular as I basically was looking at all of the rooms across the street, but I wasn't going to be in my room hardly at all. We had basically all of the meeting rooms on the hall reserved for our group. Breakfast each morning was a buffet outside of our meeting rooms. This kind of set up can be very hit or miss. In our case it was a bit of a homerun. The hot foods were hot and plentiful. We had eggs, potatoes with peppers sausages, breads, fruit, yogurt and on and on. Coffee, juice sodas and water were in constant supply Everything that I tried was very tasty. There were people constantly cleaning up the table and restocking. There was also a group that was removing plates from those who had finished their breakfast. The staff was very well trained and professional. As we had all of the meeting rooms on the 3rd floor, all of the dividers were pulled back and presentations were done on four screens. Everything worked well except for about 20 minutes one day when one large projection screen failed to work. Their IT people had it fixed within about 15-20 minutes so the presentation was able to continue. We also had one day when lunch was also a buffet outside the conference rooms. This was also exceptional. The rooftop bar (The Roof) was really nice!! We had lunch one day there as well as a dinner there the final night. The food was incredible and the service was top notch. It was unfortunately raining so we were not able to have the roof opened up, but that in no way took away from the evening. Live music, great food and drinks, great service made for a wonderful wrap-up to our meeting. To the management: You have a truly wonderful staff and I hope that you let them know that. I will be back for a personal stay soon. Collapse

I stayed at the Wit in February and was impressed with its location, food quality for breakfast and updated guest rooms. A staff were friendly and very helpful with professional matters I had to handle. Great stay!
