We are a family of 4, with two 8 years old boys who came to Chicago for few days. We chose this hotel mainly for the location, the price and the room that offered a suite-style 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. While there is no doors to separate the bedrooms, they are far enough to allow some separation. The room was clean with a full equiped kitchen. The staff was very nice, smily and very helpful. We also took the option of the parking as we drove from Ohio that, is a way cheaper option to park in Chicago. Overall, it was a very good surprised with a great quality/price.

This hotel is located right in the heart of downtown Chicago. I booked the Superior room with a view of the river walk. My room had a refrigerator and a microwave. The view was perfect to see the fireworks. I was there for NYE. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants, shopping, and steps away from the river walk. The hotel employees were helpful and friendly. Also, if you take the Big Bus to see the city, pick up is across the street from the hotel. The largest Starbucks in the world is within walking distance of the hotel. The price was great!! The only con is the rooms could use some updates, but I would recommend this hotel to friends and family.
