The room was very small, you could hear the outside traffic and I was in the 13th floor, the bathroom door didn’t close all the way, and the shower dripped.

Arlo Chicago is in the perfect location for walkable access to so many Chicago sights, excellent food (please try the Broken English Taco Pub around the corner!), bars, shopping, etc. It was also very conveniently located to access the L when we needed to get to other parts of the city! The staff was BEYOND accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The room was clean and exceeded all comfort expectations! I also highly recommend the lobby bar for a great happy hour spot!!! Everyone at this hotel was exceptional and I still cannot get over how wonderful the lobby smelled! Can't recommend Arlo Chicago enough!

Low Expectations, High Results!

I have nothing but positive things to say about this property! I'm typically a "motel, no frills" type of guy. I just want a bed, shower, and no hint of smokers in my room. Every once in a blue moon, I splurge while staying budget conscious. This place fit the bill and should easily be a 5 star property. The staff was amazing from start to finish. Having the little restaurant was an excellent touch. The bed... good grief! What a bed?! I slept like a million bucks! Thanks for an awesome stay!

While the hotel itself (including the restaurant) is lovely, the staff is what I was impressed with. Our neighbor was blaring music at 11:30 p.m., and staff immediately addressed it. When the neighbors were still loud, they swiftly moved us to a new room without complaint. While I was disappointed with having to move, it wasn't the hotel's fault.
