Enjoyed the central convenient location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean though the facilities in general need some update, particularly the elevator. Otherwise, had a lovely stay here. Thank you!

The property is in a great location! There are plenty of food establishments. The staff is exceptional, especially Raina. The rooms are clean, nice and updated but the rest of the property needs a uplift.

There was only 1 elevator working, which caused us to have to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get to and from our room on the 23rd floor. There was no soap at the sink or in the shower, so we had to use the shampoo. Yes, we could have called to have some brought, but we would have had to wait who knows how long for it to get to our room. The thing that bothered me the most though, was that I paid for a king sized bed, and what we got was two twin mattresses pushed together. More than likely won’t stay here again.

Tiny room fantastic location

Clean small room. One elevator out made getting to 20th floor a bit of a wait. Could hear sirens at night. Room cold and couldn’t figure out how to adjust temp. Loved the walk along the river to Navy Pier. Wasn’t expecting $70 valet charge. Loved free water bottles and filling station on each floor
