Our Guests Rave About Us
We have provided short-term corporate housing in Chicago for 44 years, enabling us to perfect our process, services, and expertise.
See what our guests say about us!
One cannot praise the Manilow group enough. Not only for the facilities and services they provide; but as well for the heart and the caring with which they handle the reservation process to every detail of the stay. Other companies are both rigid in their efforts. Rob and his Staff bend over backwards to make their clients happy. The apartments are in great buildings and the charged rates are more than fair. Bottom line is that they try to and succeed in making every client feel that they are truly in a home away from home.
-Ken S. (from a real person…really!)
What started out to be a three month stay – turned into 11 months. I loved staying with Manilow Suites and it made my relocation to Chicago a friendly, more than comfortable welcome. I can’t say enough about the comforts of the apartment… quality… and they thought of everything (even a mash potato masher). The maid service was friendly and reliable and the building staff friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed the office staff at Manilow. They were very responsive and gave superstar hospitality service.
Now location…. everything is right there. If I needed something, I just Googled it and it was blocks away. The restaurants in the neighbourhood are fantastic – steakhouse heaven!
All in all – I would highly recommend a stay with Manilow Suites to anyone!

The ‘Suite’ Life!
The A-team at Manilow Suites surely know how to make their guests feel right at home. I had a notion that our stay with Manilow Suites would be ‘Suite-er’ than most and I have to say for the record, I was wrong: it was the ‘Suite-est’ of all!
My first encounter was via email with Francine Manilow in 2023. She couldn’t have been more hospitable; she even replied to an email I wrote to her out of the blue when she was under the weather and recuperating at home. Then she arranged for a call so we could talk. Who does this? Francine did, and I was bowled over to say the least.
But—did her team follow in kind? You bet they did, and how…
We were in town to celebrate a milestone anniversary and Courtney, Rob, Anastasiia, and the entire team knocked themselves out to make it a celebration to remember. Forever.
First, Francine turned our request for a two-week stay over to Rob who answered our questions and confirmed our plans for late September/early October 2024. As we were getting closer to our visit I reached out to the team (I was planning far ahead due to our intense work schedule leading up to our trip), and they promptly addressed and answered all of our questions without hesitation.
We arrived in town early as anticipated and the team bent over backwards to see that our apartment was ready for us shortly thereafter. And what an apartment it was! We were ecstatic to walk into a corner unit with breathtaking views of the park behind our unit, the great Lake Michigan, and even a sliver of the Chicago River. They even left a thoughtful anniversary card and bottle of Prosecco for us. You couldn’t ask for more or feel more welcome than this.
When we discovered a couple of the kitchen gadgets weren’t working properly they promptly sent Conrad over to replace them. Also, when I remarked that the linens were scented throughout the unit, which exacerbates our allergies, Courtney not only offered to have the housekeeping staff change them out, she even made note of it on our account for our next visit—which we are already looking forward to in 2025.
Throughout our stay Courtney and her team were readily available, and incredibly accommodating. We were over the moon and on top of the world during our two weeks at the Aqua in Chicago—which reminds me to give a shout out to another amazing team that deserves a review all their own.
Thank you to every member of the Manilow Suites team. See you in 2025 and beyond!

It was a great stay, the apartment and all the staff were just fantastic!-Antonia
We stayed in the aqua apartments for 4 months this summer/fall and our experience with Manilow Suites was excellent! The apartment was clean and well-stocked and the instructions and information about the local area were clear and helpful. Since we were there for childbirth, Manilow was able to accommodate our various needs before and during our entire stay. They offered service, advice and spare equipment for baby care (along with the included biweekly cleaning). They even worked with us to extend our stay when we had departure issues.
Throughout our stay, they stayed in constant communication, and responded swiftly to our changing needs. The reasonably priced and well-maintained apartment made our long stay all more pleasant and bearable as we dealt with other life issues. I highly recommend Manilow suites if you need a nice place to stay and want a great team to work with when surprises pop up. Thank you very much, Manilow suites!-Ted
‘We were very comfortable in our Manilow Suites apartment in the Aqua Building. The apartment had a lovely view, comfortable bed and great amenities in the building. The building and staff are all very friendly and helpful. We like to cook so did have to buy some cooking equipment that was lacking. In general any issues that arose were immediately addressed by Courtney and the staff.

My husband and I rented a place in the Aqua through Manilow Suites. We were originally only going to stay six weeks, but decided to extend our stay an extra month. They were very accommodating during our stay and quick to response to any requests that we made.
I would use them for future stays.

I had booked an apartment at Wolf Point west ,Chicago through Manilow Suites.
The apartment was fantastic, close to almost all places I needed to go with all the amenities needed to make my 2 month stay extremely comfortable.
Courtney Hines was our point of contact and she was extremely helpful and kind.
Whenever in Chicago will definitely be staying here again. Have left with wonderful memories of an extremely pleasant stay.❤️

Thank you for how you treated me. I was a bit worried that I would be brushed off and far to the contrary, you were so understanding and have been the first good experience I’ve had.-Chris
I wanted to thank you so much for the perfect housing situation, I couldn’t be happier. This really does put the cherry on top of a wonderful first experience with Chicago Opera Theater, thank you for thinking of everything!
-Scott
We arrived safely and checked into Manilow Suites apartments at Arkadia Tower. Thank you sincerely for your efforts in putting this together. We were blown away with the attention to detail, literally everything we needed was already in the suite. The blender, rice cooker, etc. Needless to say, you beat our expectations. I will be sharing this review with my company when I get in today!

Manilow Suites has made a wonderful home away from home for the last three months. The apartments are spacious and had plenty of storage space. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with everything you need to prepare and serve meals. The staff has been tremendous and has helped to make our stay here a wonderful experience. We also couldn’t ask for a better location.
– Cliff
I stayed here for about a month and I have to say that this a great experience from start to finish.The apartment I stayed in featured fantastic views of the city including the Willis Tower and the lake. Plus it was centrally located to shopping, restaurants, and the CTA.

– Betty W
Experience with Manilow suites is simply great. I have been using them for quite some time now. The staff are very hospitable and very responsive during off hours. The repair work was excellent and on time. Amanda, Sandra and Dennis were all very professional and helpful. I will definitely reach out to Manilow during my next visit.

We rented for over a month @ Wolf Point West. Manilow Suites process and support was exceptional throughout. The unit and amenity building were upscale compared to most other options. Courtney Hines was my main contact throughout the stay, and she was extremely professional, responsive, & helpful. I have traveled 150+ nights a year for the last 20 years & I would definitely recommend this company to family, friends, & peers.
– Craig S.
Very exceptional service. The team is very quick to respond to issues if you have any. Likely you wont as they did a great job providing everything you need to stay and even including items to get you started such as dish soap and laundry detergent so you can get setup on short notice. They have a housekeeper who comes by once a month and does a great job. I was super busy and I enjoyed coming back to a clean dishes, bed made, and clean towels.
– Brandon
You guys are amazing!!!!
By far the best team I have ever worked with, I am truly happy to be working with you all!
– Bernardo
The feedback has always been positive. The customer service that we have received has been nothing short of perfect. We are very satisfied with the service we have received.
– Jason
I must say I couldn’t be happier! This apartment is fantastic! I love the layout and how much space there is. I have a nice view of the water to the right, and the Navy Pier to the left. I have everything I need, and I’m just very pleased with my whole situation right now.
Last but not least, THANK YOU!!! I would not be in the position (or apartment) I’m in today if not for your help. The Chicago side of this relocation has been the absolute best part, which has allowed me to focus on the challenges I’m dealing with back home far more effectively. I am grateful beyond words.
– Bryan
Courtney is an amazing placement advisor. She engaged with me at the pace and approach that i wanted. She then not only found and executed the agreement flawlessly – she went above and beyond in setting it up so that it would feel like home. I am really impressed with the care and attention that the folks at Manilow have provided. I know its a team approach – so thank you!!
-G
It was an amazing experience, amenities and service were of top quality, very friendly staff and management!
-K
Just saw the SUN GO DOWN and the sky change into wild colors behind the skyscraper village out my window here at the GLAMOROUS APARTMENT that you have provided for me. Quite SOMETHING!
– Operations Manager
thank you for your continued partnership. I am immensely grateful to have a partner like you who can solve problems at the drop of a hat (just ask Amanda about the need to get a same-hour housing set up for an employee in a crisis!) and field curve balls with ease. You make me look good to my customers and that is worth the world.
