My stay at Wheeler Mansion had its charm with antique furnishings and a unique historical ambiance, but I faced significant issues like cold temperatures in my room and unexpected billing practices. I appreciated the cozy feel and the beautiful decor, but the lack of comfort and communication left me disappointed. Overall, it was an interesting experience, yet not one I would recommend for winter stays. ❄️

I had a fantastic stay at the Wheeler Mansion, enjoying the unique historical ambiance and well-appointed rooms. The staff were friendly and attentive, making my experience even more enjoyable. I appreciated the delicious breakfast options, though I think having a more varied menu could elevate it a bit. Overall, it's a hidden pleasure in the heart of Chicago, but the location could be less convenient for someone who isn't attending events nearby.

Wheeler Mansion exudes a unique historical charm with its beautifully preserved antique decor and serene outdoor spaces, making for a good stay. However, I faced significant discomfort due to cleanliness issues and inadequate heating during my visit. The attentive service provided by the host was a standout, but it wasn't enough to fully compensate for the room conditions.

The room's charming antique decor was lovely, but I noticed cobwebs and dust that gave it a neglected feel (definitely not ideal!). The large, old windows did little to keep the cold out during my stay, leaving me shivering at night.

I appreciated the charming outdoor garden area, perfect for unwinding after a long day, though I found the lack of accessibility and specific amenities to be a drawback (the stair situation can be challenging!).

My stay at the Wheeler Mansion was truly good. The mansion's historical charm and beautifully decorated rooms offered a unique atmosphere that made my visit feel special. However, some smaller details, like offering eggs cooked to order for breakfast and having staff more knowledgeable about local tips, could use improvement. Overall, I appreciated the comfort and the beautiful setting, but a few adjustments could elevate the experience even further. 😊
