No title - expert review Just off North Michigan Avenue, this hotel's restaurant, Mike Ditka's, gets infinitely more attention than the rooms do (we love Ditka's Da Pork Chop dish).

Little gem - user review All the previous reviewers regarding this charming little gem on the Mag Mile should stop in and visit.

dirty - user review The lobby to the Tremont gives the illusion of a fancy and well kept hotel. The front desk staff was extremely professional and polite.

It was nice 20 years ago - user review I now know why I had never heard of this hotel before. I never wanted to.

Great location but not very impressed - user review The hotel is fine, but I was not impressed.

Great location and satisfies basic needs - user review The hotel is in a great spot right near the Hancock Building and has Ditka's (a great fun restaurant) right next door.

Could be charming, but isn’t - user review This could be a charming (B&B like) boutique hotel, however, it falls short in decor and upkeep, room size, comfort of bed, and lack of basic business amenities (WIFI is only available in the lobby and that's because you can receive the Starbucks WIFI from across the street). By contrast my business... expedia.com
Great Location - user review This hotel had a great location, walking distance to most places, close to the red line.
