Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise, noise, noise!
The building of Wicker Park backs onto the Chicago Subway Line, and therefore, any guests staying in the rooms at the back of the hotel will find that they can hear the loudness of the train rumbling past.
negative:
Read the cancellation policy.
If, for any reason, guests find that they are unhappy with their accommodations, and they wish to check out early, the cancellation policy is quite strict. Guests at Wicker Park will have to ensure that they understand the hidden costs, so as to avoid further disappointment.
negative:
No access to cooler air.
During the hot months of summer, guests will find the lack of air conditioning to be a problem, as the rooms can get quite warm. The rooms air conditioning is controlled at the front desk to avoid the temperatures being turned too low, so that the element inside freezes, and therefore leaves guests with in a rather hot predicament.
