Cons:

I'm so disappointed that I can not get the invoice for the room charge I paid. The Booking.com told me the hotel shall be responsible to issue this invoice directly to customer, but the hotel refuse to do so. I do not know where is the problem, but as the customer, I can not get the invoice for the amount I paid, this is so strange and completely unacceptable!

Waste of money
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Slow elevators which seemed original, ill equipped to cover the needs of a 30 plus floor facility. Halls throughout the hotel were dark and dingy. Sliding shower door wouldn't stay shut during actual shower. The well advertised roof top deck had a private event on Saturday and was closed Sunday and Monday as well which apparently is the schedule but no where was it posted or explained during check in
Really poor, disappointing experience especially considering it was $1,500 for 3 nights with no breakfast included. Spend your money somewhere else. Lousy experience

Pros:

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Sent us to an excellent restaurant. Helpful in planning our activities for a short stay (3 nights) in Chicago. Nice breakfast experience at the restaurant. Again, excellent service.

Room was not all that clean. Stains on the carpet which would not be expected from a hotel of this caliber. Towels were frayed which was unusual for a hotel at this level and supplies not ample. Would stay there again based on quality of service and location.

Pros:

Our experience was terrific from beginning to end. Micheal greeted us at the door and he was the last person we saw upon our departure. He took very good care of us

Luxury Pricing, But Not a Luxury Experience
Pros:

I stayed at The Pendry Chicago for several nights and booked through Bilt’s Home Away From Home program. Given the property’s reputation and price point, I expected a much more polished experience. Unfortunately, the stay fell well short of what I would consider luxury.

The problems started at check-in. There was no mention of the package, no acknowledgment of the benefits, and no explanation of what was included with my booking. The front desk associate seemed unfamiliar with the program, and there did not appear to be any note attached to my reservation. No one gave me any real orientation to the hotel either: restaurants, breakfast, amenities, Wi-Fi, or even the basic details you would expect at check-in. I eventually had to ask for a manager, who provided a one-level room upgrade and walked me through the on-property benefits. At a hotel in this category, that should not require escalation.

One of the benefits was a $60 breakfast credit for two people. In reality, that does not come close to covering breakfast for two once coffee, tax, and service charges are added. A luxury hotel benefit should feel like a benefit, not a minor offset against already high pricing.

Service throughout the stay was inconsistent. The bell staff and room service delivery team were friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the front desk and concierge experience felt detached and unwelcoming. There was very little warmth, polish, or sense of hospitality.

The room itself was fine, but not memorable. Comfortable enough, but very average for the rate. The light switches were oddly configured, including needing to go toward the front door area to turn off certain lights. There was also a light inside the wardrobe area where pants were hung that flickered like a strobe and would not stay on properly. The windows were visibly dirty. The Wi-Fi was painfully slow, which made the room even less functional for anyone trying to work. Room service was also extremely expensive, with delivery fees and additional charges layered onto already high menu prices.

The biggest issue by far was the noise. I had read other reviews mentioning it and assumed it might be typical downtown-hotel feedback. It was not. The noise was constant: sirens, honking, emergency vehicles, street activity, and maintenance or repair work with power tools. This was not occasional background noise. It was disruptive enough that working from the room, taking client calls, or getting meaningful rest was difficult.

For a property at this level, the soundproofing is simply not adequate. Better-insulated windows should be standard, especially in a downtown location where street noise is predictable.

Overall, I would not stay here again. Chicago has too many strong hotel options to justify luxury pricing without a luxury-level experience. Between the inconsistent service, average room, painfully slow Wi-Fi, expensive food and beverage, and the inability to work or sleep without constant disruption, this was a disappointing stay.
