The city views were amazing. Finding the hotel felt a little confusing, but building security was extremely helpful in pointing us in the right direction. We were walking distance from anywhere we wanted to go. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is a fabulous hotel. Very well appointed rooms and what great views across the city. Great location, sights are walkable. Arriving by car and trying to get to the hotel on the 40th floor for the first time was a bit of an IQ test but the staff were very helpful guiding us. Decent breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Very well maintained 40th floor quiet property. 1 kitchen with pre packaged breakfast and 1 microwave, but wonderful amenities in the room for purchase. Very convenient to walk to food and transit.

My husband thought the pillows were too tall but they were fine for me. The bed was nice; the WiFi was a little spotty. The view was magnificent! We were able to park across the street in a surface lot for $11. The exercise area was not available on the weekend but I hadn’t planned on using it anyway. The breakfast was very continental—but was fine.

Parking is not great as it is underground. I could not adjust the room temperature. Breakfast was ok. The most I would have to complain about is having to go through 3 elevators to get to the rooms as it's on the 40th floor which is at the very top of the building. The pro was that the scenery is beautiful up there.

The room is spacious and has an amazing view. The beds are comfortable and the free continental breakfast was unexpected but appreciated! Getting to the lobby from the underground parking garage was a little confusing, but once we figured it out, all was good. Maybe if there was a sign pointing you in the right direction, that might help?? Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay there again.

My husband & I had a deluxe king suite with an amazing view of Lake Michigan and the skyscrapers! The staff was very helpful in getting to the correct elevator from the parking garage (it's a bit tricky finding how to get to The Buckingham Hotel from the parking garage as it's on the 40th floor with it's own elevator that you have to get to from the 39th floor; however, the garage and building are very secure with 24 hour security). The views are amazing, and the chairs by the big picture window are comfy to sit in and watch all the boats and the beautiful sunrise over the Lake. The king bed was very comfy, and the grab and go breakfast was good.

The view from our suite was excellent, especially during a thunderstorm. We loved our stay. The only (very minor) downside was neither TV worked correctly. One had very low volume, the other had no picture but good volume. The location was very good, very easy walk to public transportation. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the A/C worked really well. The building security was Would definitely stay here again.
