Southwest Airlines recommended this hotel.|I do not recommend The Found Hotel in Chicago at this time, mostly because of upper management and investors above the hotel manager.||How do I describe the Found? A step up from a hostel/dorm, but a step below even a basic hotel like Motel 8 or Hilton. It lacks identity, it does not know what it wants to be. The owners just want money, coin op laundry has a higher rate of return and lower start-up cost. The marketing on their website is far from reality.||They are repurposing old buildings great. However, since for-profits want to recoup investments asap I feel like I am in an incomplete renovation and being charged as if it is brand new and complete. For a few bucks more one could stay at a Hilton.|||The website has no details on accommodations|No cups for water|No hand soap|Views are non-existent|The AC unit has a really bad coil whine|Everything next to the hotel is closed|Room service clearly isn’t done every day, second day here as of writing this, and could clearly tell my room had not been touched by the cleaning staff. Bath towels were not replaced. I know they have cleaning staff I’ve seen them.||The Found is more of a hostel or a dorm, and it needs to market itself as such and charge like one too.||Staff and general manager are friendly and accommodating and in tight spot with what seems little to no support from national. I feel like the Found is in a soft opening phase, as they are willing to hear feedback. I’d like this to succeed but they got to set the expectations and value for money right at the webpage. If one can’t get a sense of the accommodations walk away.||If you smoke pot there is a dispensary across the street |They don’t charge for Wi-fi|I don’t watch TV, so I didn’t check that||I may amend the review at the end of my trip, if things improve that is only fair. The photos by others don't lie it really does feel like a dorm.
