I had high expectations for my stay at the Ritz in Chicago, given its reputation, but unfortunately, my experience didn't quite match. While the location is superb and the rooms are spacious with lovely views, the service was quite disappointing. I faced multiple issues with my stay, including mistakes and delays that should not happen at such a high-end hotel. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some positives, but the negatives certainly stood out.

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The staff treated us like royalty, which made the experience truly special. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved the spacious, beautifully decorated rooms. However, while the dining options were good, we felt there could be more variety.
