Recent Sax Chicago Thompson Review: "Our stay at the Hotel Sax was incredibly enjoyable. After pricing a few other hotels on the Mag Mile, Hotel Sax had excellent weekend rates that blew the others away. The location was accessible to the sites and theaters we intended to visit and we loved the Crimson Lounge before heading out to the bars. Drinks are expensive, but the decor and ambiance made up for it. As the previous poster said, this hotel does attract a younger crowd, so if you are bothered by lounge goers and super-power toilets flushing in the middle of the night this hotel is not for you. The interiors of the rooms are beautifully designed and mimics todays latest modern design magazines. Everything is clean and well taken care of. My favorite was the acoustic clock / radio, it had great sound and you could even hear it in the bathroom. Now I need to go and buy one for myself! We had a slight problem with the plasma tv (we pressed a button that makes the tv lose signal) but after a call the the front desk, they sent a tech up to reset it, and he even called 5 min later to ensure that everything was working properly. Now THAT is awesome customer service! Everyone we encountered from the front desk, concierge and room service were friendly, warm, and went the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Now that is hard to find at the larger hotels. The only part of our stay that I was disappointed with was the room service we ordered at 4am. We ordered a chicken club sandwich and french fries. You would think $13 would get you a rockstar sandwich and average fries. Oh no...the fries were cold and limp. But seriously, that's the only thing that they could have improved. I'm definitely keeping the Hotel Sax in mind when my girlfriends come to visit. Did I mention that there are a TON of full length mirrors in the roomsr Perfect for a group of girls to get ready in front of (no fighting to put your makeup on)."
