Such fun

We decided to spring break to the city. We are country folk from southern Missouri. We came up for the St.Patricks parade, river dying, museums and aquarium. Staying in a Penthouse on the 52nd floor really was the cherry on top. This apartment was great. It was clean, had everything we needed and was conveniently located to great shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

Better than Advertised. The view was amazing!

Tremendous property! Check in was easy and location was amazing. Within steps of the CTA and walking distance to the mag mile, theater, the Christmas market and Navy Pier. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped. Elevators were fast and building was secure with a door person at the front desk most hours of the day. It was winter, so we were unable to use the pool or the outside track, but the fitness area on floor nine had quite a few treadmills, weights and even a basketball court. Overall, our stay was excellent. There is a grocery store next door and lots of restaurants within walking distance. I would recommend the Star of Siam. Would definitely stay here again, next time we come to Chicago.

Amazing views/location

My sister and I are from the country, and decided to take a sisters trip to Chicago. Getting this penthouse was the best decision we made! The hosts were amazing and quickly got back to us when we had questions. Everyone in the building was so friendly and kind. The penthouse was clean and had all the space we needed. The views of the city were even better than I could imagine. The sirens could be loud at times, but that’s inevitable in the city. We walked almost everywhere we wanted to go. I would stay here again 1000%

Nice accomodations

This is the 3rd time staying at one of the same properties. Communication is clear throughout the process. The properties are well maintained. It is nice when staying for 6 days to have a place that feels like home. The views are great and so are the door men.

Excellent view and location to enjoy the city!

The penthouse was clean with exceptional views of the green river in the midst of the Chicago skyline! My partner and I came to Chicago for a concert and to visit her son. The place was clean and comfortable. The location was awesome - we were able to walk to the river event and the St Patrick's Day parade and we could uber everywhere else we wanted to go. Check-in was easy and coming and going from the building was clear and simple. (Starbucks was a short walk next door every morning!) We loved the experience overall! The only minor issue was the pillows in the bedroom were really dense and uncomfortable, but we we did fine. Again, great experience - the owners were clear about expectations and really easy to work with! We will definitely stay here again!

Loved it Here!!

Absolutely loved our stay here at The Grand Plaza!!! Perfect location, literally the redline subway entrance was right outside the main plaza door, doesn’t get any better than that. Priceless views of the city, like someone said prior to us staying here, “it's like something out of a movie.” It felt very cozy, this place has everything you need for a VERY comfortable stay with the fully stocked kitchen utensils you’d need, washer & dryer and even a grocery store on the 1st floor right outside the main entrance. Everyone we encountered during our stay at the Grand Plaza was super nice, checking in and out was easy with no issues. I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be staying here again next year!!! Thank you, Jim & Jeri-Lou for everything, we had a memorable stay. 😊

Great view, ideal location, arrogant hosts.

Not only before arrival were we constantly bombarded with „don’t do this“ and „don‘t do that“ - mails. Check-in only after 4pm (as „compensation“: check-out already by 10 am)! We were threatened with a „fine“ of 100$ if we spilled oil from the the gas stove of which we were wrongly accused by the hosts. After complaining about noise from the heating system in the bedroom, which robbed us of sleep for many nights, we were advised „to use ear plugs“. The spectacular view was compromised by dirty windows, for an insufficient water-flow-shower one must climb into a bath tub. Though we paid for 3 weeks, we left the place early for more friendly hosts at a different place. (So far we have met only polite, nice and friendly Americans in Chicago The hosts of this place were an exception.)

Grand Plaza is in an Excellent Location

We came to Chicago for a family wedding and made a vacation for our family of two teens. The location of this incredibly clean, neat, organized and well equipped kitchen is prime. We were walking distance of many venues and activities we had planned. We used the parking garage and that was efficient because of the in/out privileges. The hosts, James and Jeri Lou, are excellent communicators with their aim to ensure we had all the information we needed to make our trip a memorable vacation, which it was. If we were to visit Chicago again, I would stay at the Grand Plaza and I would recommend this place to anyone!

Great place in a perfect location

Our family of four spent a week here exploring Chicago. First off, the communication from the host was outstanding, including very specific directions for parking and check in that made it very easy. The apartment was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The view was amazing, looking out at Marina City. The location proved perfect, as Grand Station and the red line are literally steps from the front door. This made it an easy train ride to the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and the Art Institute. Willis tower was an easy 25 minute walk along The River Walk. And the Grocery store in the same building was very convenient.
