 3/28/2012 | | "Best place for a meeting in the Chicago Metro area", An Eventective User from Chicago, IL | Stayed here this past weekend. The renovations look great. Desk staff was not excellent, but were friendly. Had two doubles on the 4th floor. Balcony was nice but keep in mind the freeway is right outside and was too loud to be outside during anytime of the day. Bathroom was beautiful - great shower head. Very clean, friendly housekeeping staff, and great location near the loop. Rates affordable on a busy convention weekend in Chicago. Dominick's grocery just across the street.
The bell staff weren't super friendly. After loading our cart, the bellman walked away. We checked in and waited for him to come back in. He didn't, so I grabbed the cart to go to the elevator and the desk agent stopped me and explained that because I asked him to help, he had to take it up for me. She had to radio him in to help us up. |
| 3/13/2012 | | "A Great View and Space", An Eventective User from Detroit, Michigan | | The Crowne Plaza meeting venue located at the Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois is one of the best venues for a conference that I have had the pleasure of booking. As an event planner for several large corporations, I am used to booking elegant and corporate suites for various activities. Booking the Crowne Plaza Hotel was fairly simple. Rooms can be reserved online and there are various tabs to help figure out amenities as well as special features. This was very helpful. Aside from all the normal amenities of a hotel, which your guests will approve of due to the great accommodation, the hotel also offers event catering for your meeting, wireless internet, and various types of equipment for the meeting. One downfall, though, is that the audiovisual equipment is not up to par. I had trouble getting the equipment to work with my MAC computer and did not approve of the dated amenities. On the plus side, the staff was great. They were all friendly and welcoming. From the doorman to the front desk, guests of the hotel and of the conference rooms are taken care of and safely helped. Also, the staff that helped to provide the food for our meeting was fantastic. They kept the food hot and ready, even though our meeting ran over by about an hour. Another downfall, though, is that the Crowne Plaza hotel is in high demand, and it is difficult to book on short notice. Furthermore, it is quite expensive due to its great location and elegant decor. Finally, there are not a wide variety of conference and meeting rooms to choose from. As opposed to having an auditorium for lectures, the hotel cannot stack up and can only provide either a large conference room without the comfort of a lecture hall or a ballroom that is highly unprofessional for a lectured meeting. |
|  2/10/2012 | | "Great Venue for Meetings", An Eventective User from Romeoville, IL | | The Crowne Plaza is a hotel located in downtown Chicago which i would highly recommend as a meeting venue. Public transportation is offered in the area, the scenery around the venue is great, and it is in a very accessible location, making it is easy to find. The venue itself has many rooms for meetings of various occasions including business, social, or corporate. The employees at the venue are very helpful and polite. The atmosphere inside of the hotel is good as well. It is very clean and elegant. I would say it is even ideal for more formal events as well as meetings. If the meeting is for a really large number of people I might recommend looking into another venue. Individual rooms can be expanded by taking down the mobile walls but still would probably not be ideal for anymore than about 250-300 people. If the meeting is on a smaller scale it may be bothersome to have someone conducting a meeting in a neighboring room because the movable walls are not sound proof by any means and you can sometimes here the people in the neighboring room depending on their volume level. My previous experience was involving a business meeting for about 100-150 people and everyone was very pleased with the services the venue offered. The only negative aspect of my experience would probably be parking because parking at the actual venue is limited due to its location. Despite this fact the area offers many parking garages in which you can pay to park for the day for various amounts. Though I have heard they offer a free parking package. |
| 1/23/2012 | | "A dream come true", An Eventective User from Chcago Illinois | | Choosing the Crown Plaza for my wedding was the best choice I made out of every deatil for my wedding. It was a one stop shop and I couldn have been more thrilled with the service that they provided. Everything was absolutley perfect and beyond what I expected. The freindly staff worked with me on every deatail from the photographer down to the flowers. They offered a full service catered menu offering great choices of prime cut beef, the best tasting chicken, and the prefectly cooked fish. They offered white glove butler service which was excellent. When my husband and i walked it it was even more than I dreamed of. The lighthing was prefect, the DJ the reccomended was even better than I could have dreamed of. The centerpieces I chose were perfectly placed on each table. I was really so happy with the whole outcome of the ceremony and reception. When it came time to cut the cake I was amazed by the way it looked on the table they set up. Every girl dreams of her fairytale wedding with her prince charming and I had mine at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. I can not thank them enough for the outstanding service they provided to us on our special day. Their staff is friendly, the hotel is gorgeuos inside and out. I was married there 3 years ago and I still race about it to friends and family. I highly reccomend them to anybody looking for their dream wedding. You will not by any means be dissapointed. I know i sure was not! |
