not sure about upgrade potential, my guess is you may get upgraded to a non field view suite if the hotel isn’t too busy.
breakfast was continental breakfast or $10 off restaurant item. We both went with restaurant item and it was good. Also, free coffee from West Town Bakery downstairs if you’re a hotel guest before 10am.
2nd floor bar was also nice place to sit and drink.
really enjoyed my stay.
view from balcony
Hotel restaurant/lounge is great; breakfast voucher covered $10 per person and meals were great. Picture of menu included.
Housekeeping did an outstanding job turning the room when we were out.
All in all, a great stay and will definitely return when back in the area. Don’t miss this gem of a property!

Hotel Zachary, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel Review (19 Photos)
Hotel Zachary, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
I booked this hotel with 85 k points and used an SNA to get the Wrigley field view. We were going to a Cubs game the day of check in, so it certainly has a great location right acrss the street from the main entrance to the stadium.
I can definitely recommend the hotel overall if in combination with a Cubs game.
Check In
A bit of history about the hotel
A hallway photo showing the overall design
We arrived at 11:30, before the regular check in time. I did not check in advance on the app. The room was not ready. They pre-checked us in and stored our luggage for us.
They called us later to inform us when the room was ready. However, we were already in the stadium in the Marriott VIP lounge. I wrote a separate review of that experience in the Bonvoy Moments thread.
I was thanked for my Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador status and was offered either 12 USD credit for breakfast or 1000 points. I believe it was 12 USD per person. I chose the points since I did not believe the 12 USD would cover much.
There was no offer to help bring our limited luggage to the room.
Parking at this hotel is $75 per night. We used SpotHero instead.
View into the check in area. On the right is a novel monthly calendar showing local events. Most of them Cubs games.
Room
The main feature of the room is the view of the stadium.
A better stadium view is not possible
The tv had a great selection of programs
t
The hotel and room has lots of Cubs-themed decorations Not suitable for White Sox fans! :)
There was an iron and luggage rack in the room, but no coffee machine or kettle
We had two comfortable double beds
The shower had good water pressure i liked the multi-use shampoo, conditioner and shower gel wall mounted pump bottles
Overall i found the room very comfortable and well equipped. We did not hear any street noise.
I was rather surprised to not get any in room platinum recognition for a premium room.
i was also surprised that it did not seem possible to order food to the room.
Location
The hotel is right across the street from the stadium.
The hotel is on the right side our room was on the far end of the hotel
The hotel entrance. The hotel lobby is one level above ground level (=US second floor)
Dining
There are multiple outlets for food at the hotel. We only tried eating at the bar. I found it to be very pricey for what we got and would probably not repeat. Apparently their restaurants get rewards, so perhaps I just had bad luck or different taste buds.
Show your key to get fres coffee at this ground floor cafe in the morning
