    "A little Gem"  by a from Dublin

    I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The staff were fantastic, the location was great, we were right in the centre of every thing. The room was lovely, large, clean, massive 42 " plasma TV, large bathroom too. The rececption is a little out dated but don't let that fool you.

    "Great Location"  by C from Oxford

    The location of the Knickerbocker is one of the best things about it. At half a block from the Magnificent Mile, it is perfect for shopping. Also at only two blocks from the popular drinking area of Rush Street, it makes going out easy and safe to get to. There are a number of good restaurants in the area. The room was very clean. It was not the biggest room but very well appointed with a huge plasma tv, comfortable bed and huge shower. It was cleaned to a high standard every day.
