Michigan Ave 808 obviously is in a great location: next to Grant Park and to a METRA station (you are in 20 minutes at the University of Chicago), 15 Minutes to Lake Michigan (and a water taxi stop), 10 Minutes to the Art Institute (and there is a very nice bakery at the corner and a Trader Joe‘s not far). I enjoyed the studio I stayed in very much: much space, modern furniture, view (partly overlooking Grant Park), many lights and plug-ins, great WLAN, all kinds of kitchen utensils, big bathroom, good products (shampoo, body cream etc.) + the building feels very secure (entrance key, elevator key), you have your own mailbox, everything is top cleaned and there is small swimming pool at the 7th floor and even if you don‘t feel like swimming go there just for the view. What really stands out for me is the the friendliness and the competence of the staff. Everyone is very welcoming, they help you in no time with (seemingly) whatever question you have. I have stayed in lots of places — this for sure is one of the best.

The price for the studio might seem to be on the higher side, but given all the amenities Sentral Michigan Ave offers it is really good value. I definitely will be back.

Loved the amenities - gym with classes, pool, hot tub, there is also a work space - my wife and I did a WorkCation and this was one of the greatest benefit. Elevators were working and never a wait, even with 50+ floors. W/D with pods in the unit was a plus! Virtual check-in and out.

We stayed for 5 nights and never got a refresh on towels and linen. No complimentary coffee. Some of the front desk service support was not as helpful.

We had booked a 2 bed premium apartment but when we got there it was not available. Unfortunately we had t settle for a regular 2 bed apartment but it was lovely. Facilities were fantastic, everything we needed. 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a lovely living/kitchen area.

There was a terrible smell of cannabis everywhere, in the elevators, rooms, reception. It seems to be coming through the vents. We actually put towels at the door to the apartment hoping it would stop the smell seeping through but to no avail.

The view was amazing and it was clean. The location is good.

They only gave us one roll of TP and when I requested for more towels through the portal never heard back from anyone. Otherwise everything was great.

I loved the location. coming back to my hometown, the view made my stay very special. the hot tub was so nice and I felt very welcomed.

the only problem was that we could not use the TV. even when I wanted to order a movie, I was unable to get anything. That was huge considering I really wanted to relax and wind down with a movie, or a show...anything.

The bed was the most comfortable thing I have ever laid on. I went home and looked up the best hotel style bed sets I could find just to replicate. The pool was very entertaining and clean, along with the hot tub that was ON TOP OF THE ROOF! There was a game room where we played 8-ball for a whole hour and even explored the little gym area. This is a very very nice stay. You get an entire apartment for such a little cost. A living area, bedroom, bathroom, and a full kitchen? Sign me up. I will be staying here any time I’m in Chicago. On a weird side note, the couches in the pool area were heavenly. I need to buy one for my house and was definitely a rememberable part of that hotel and was necessary to mention.

The staff were a little hard to find at times and took a couple times to answer the phone.

My partner and I stayed in the Premium Apt. South Loop and it was perfect. The area was nice, safe, and comfortable. The views in the room were spectacular and we were able to utilize the washer and dryer. I loved that there was a refrigerator, oven & stove because we were able to take leftovers from restaurants and enjoy them later! Although there was a language barrier with the staff, they were still nice and helpful. I do want to mention that a day before my stay, I received an email from “Sentral Michigan, Booking.com” asking me to re-confirm my stay and input my credit card info but it was a scam.

Really great trip here. The area is super safe and clean. The building itself is modern and the apartment was well equipped. I really appreciated the washing machine tablets being provided (and the washing machine and dryer was super quick). Bed was very comfy ! The woman who checked me in was very polite and professional .

My only con was the gap between the floor and the front door (maybe this is for safety purposes though), one of the nights a group of people seemed to be standing at the lifts talking really loudly around 2am for about 15 mins , but again that was just a bit of bad luck too, the other nights I’d no issue with sound and wouldn’t have noticed this gap in the door if not for the one loud encounter.

Spacious, clean, convenient location, stellar views, nice amenities including gym, pool and hot tub.

The price was quite exorbitant even for the perks listed above. The staff at night were friendly and helpful. The morning staff, particularly one person in particular, provided a horrible check out process for us, misquoted check out time, locked us out of our room 1 hour prior to check out, and told us there was no room to store our luggage. Everything this person said was inconsistent with Booking.com representative. Booking.com resolved all issues appropriately. Left a very bad impression at the end, Sentral.

I really loved the view from my room. All I could see was the skyline to my left and the lake and navy pier to the right. It was everything for my birthday!!
