The Hoxton Chicago wins admirers for its lively West Loop location, characterful rooms stocked with complimentary coffee and fresh milk, attentive staff who make guests feel like VIPs, and a buzzing lobby atmosphere, though prospective visitors should note that noisy HVAC systems, thin walls, and crowds overwhelming the rooftop pool can take the shine off what is otherwise a stylish and well-positioned stay.
