My husband has Parkinson's Disease and I asked in advance for an accessible room. Upon arrival, we had already been assigned an accessible room. It was beautiful and very spacious. The breakfast was good both days. The staff was very attentive. My husband fell getting on the elevator on Wednesday, November 26th and Elena (desk clerk?) ran to his assistance and helped him to his feet. She was wonderful and very attentive and concerned. I would definitely recommend this hotel and not hesitate to stay there again if we're ever in Chicago again. Special thank you to Elena. I wish I'd gotten her last name.

The city facing room had an unobstructed view of the Willis (Sears) Tower.. AMAZING... I really liked the 'classic' look of the room.. really nicely upkept original HARD WOOD doors and frames. Classic marble in bathroom, etc. Reminded me of the upscale 'Conrad Hilton', but at a much affordable rate.

I can't say enough good things about staying at Staypineapple Chicago. We arrived early, were allowed to check in right away. The room was hands down the cleanest hotel room we have ever stayed in! The architectural aspects of this hotel are stunning. The ceilings are high and the windows are large and the view from the room was excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Free water bottles. Nice cosy gym. Count on this being our hotel in Chicago.
