The Buckingham Hotel

Yes, the parking is tricky!! Get in the garage under the building and take your ticket. Go up to the 1st floor after parking and then you do have to haul your bags up a set of stairs outside the building. Enter the lobby of the building thru the glass doors by the horse statue and a guard will escort you up through the two elevators to get past all the offices the first time you enter. After that you will get your own keycards for everything (note that if you are a family each person has a white card that is needed to get through the security gates to the elevator (but the security attendants will buzz you if you forget). Other than that we were happy with the room (yes a bit dated on the marble and fixtures but I’d rather they keep it all out of a landfill than upgrade to something cheaper).

All around great experience. Had an issue with the valet downstairs and the hotel staff was very attentive and timely with fixing tour parking garage issue!

My overnight stay at the Buckingham hotel was great. The room was clean, the bathroom with full size deep tub was bonus. The bed was very comfortable and no street noise to disrupt my sleep. The desk staff was super. He even helped me order a Chicago style pizza while in Chicago. The continental breakfast was minimal but included in the price I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

Proximity to train stations & downtown, beautiful lake view Figuring out the elevators was a bit confusing.

Friendly staff, amazing location and a complimentary late check out. We'll definitely be back.

Parking was easy, navigating the various paths took a little longer but was fine it you pay attention to the details.

Definity view. the carpet gave an impression of old and maybe dusty

Exceptional

I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Very safe, very convenient, good breakfast provided and gorgeous views!

The view and location are good It is a little difficult when you parked your car then went to the lobby

Notes for improvement: The breakfast was okay (mainly pre packaged pastries) and a k cup coffee maker. Freshly brewed coffee would be nice. The beds were also a little too firm for our liking. Overall very nice though and a 8/10! We would return.

Business friendly

Starting off, the place is actually pretty nice inside. You are very high up so you have a nice view of the city from your room. There is security downstairs so you don't have much to worry about while in the hotel. The negatives however... The area surrounding the hotel isn't exactly safe. There are quite a few abandoned buildings nearby and lots of homeless people. The hotel makes an effort to try and nickle and dime you for everything as there isn't really many things provided to you. The things you normally see at other hotels such as maybe a bottle of water, disposable slippers or something...You have it in your room but if you open it, you will be charged.

The view of the city was spectacular

The view was absolutely breathtaking, the staff was friendly, the room was spotless, and the hotel was very affordable. Will definitely stay here again. I have no complaints

this is not a hotel - it is a series of bedrooms off an uninviting corridor on the 40th floor of an office bloc, no proper reception, no facilities and the room was old, dirty, paint chipped, dreary and plain see the above - it was more like a prison block

Room and bathroom very spacious. Nice location as well. Tremendous view of the city. Breakfast with limited choices and fairly poor. They also charge everything, including 6 USD for using the slippers

Room was very quiet with a nice view of Lake Michigan. Continental breakfast had several items. Stuff was very helpful. The only negative thing was that the TV ran on apps so you had to make sure you knew your login for your Internet TV provider.

Loved it

Loved loved loved!!!! View was amazing, location was great, friendly staff!! Everything was perfect!
