The gal at the front desk was amazing! The property had great history and character and slept like a dream. Walking distance to Wrigley Field, save neighborhood and convenient to other locations. Would stay here again and recommend to anyone.

The Willows is a small hotel located in a great area full of wonderful restaurants and shopping. It’s very cozy and the fireplace is a great, especially in the winter. The lobby area is very welcoming

In the pocket of the bathrobe was a dirty razor. That itself is concerning but the fact it means they didn’t wash the robes before we got the room is most concerning.

I liked the area and there was plenty of food choices. The people working the front desk were all amazing.
3-night trip

4/10

Put on the provided white fluffy robe only to find a used razor in the pocket. That’s bad, but I think the more alarming part is it highlights they don’t wash the robes after each stay. Disgusting. Bright white towels, always nice, but….the two wash cloths had stains on them. Really have to question the housekeeping here.

We've stayed here twice and both times were great. The location is convenient to Wrigleyville, which is where we spent a lot of time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was in the garage close by. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. We would definitely stay here again.
