2. I asked about the switch (mainly because when I booked they still had Kiehls in website description) and they claimed that the reason they went the communal bottle route was to be 'green'.

"4.5 stars? That is optimistic at best. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/26/2012 Vote

3. For a reasonable hotel to stay at for a shopping weekend it is perfect.

"Nice hotel. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/25/2012 Vote

4. I picked Chicago for two reasons: the proximity to CLE (5 hour drive for us) and the awesome rate I got on Jetsetter.

"Bad Info on Twitter & Smoky Hallways " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/28/2012 Vote

5. We love this hotel for the following reasons: location: easy access to trains and buses therefore easy access to a lot of attractions; walking distance to the Magnificent Mile for great shopping; service: staff are friendly and helpful, and the room is very clean and comfortable.

6. the River Walk is close by and the boat rides up the river are only $26 and looked to be a lot of fun (we ran out of time but it is on my 'agenda' for next year)the only reason I am not rating this hotel as 'excellent' is because the beds, while comfortable, were small and the only mirror is in the bathroom.

8. The only reason we didn't eat in-house was that within a short walk you are spoiled for choice of great places to eat.

9. Then, the toilet, for no reason, overflowed when I flushed it.

10. Firstly, the whole reason for the week long trip was to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and when I emailed them to ask about emptying the mini bar, (I'm vegan and need the space to store soya milk and other bits and bobs,) I did tell them it was a birthday celebration and we were so excited and looking forward to being at The James after a lot of research.
