The hotel room was lovely and very clean. We had a great view of Lake Michigan and the Centennial Ferris wheel. My only complaint is that I should have asked for more pillows. The pillows are not firm and very soft, but they went flat all night. As a side sleeper, I needed about three of them. I liked the Daviness shampoo and conditioner, and the shower was nice. A clean bathroom is essential to me. We were a short walk from tons of stuff to do, and we walked to the Chicago Institute of Art easily. Safe area, friendly staff.

When I arrived around 4:30 PM, the lobby was packed and there were two long lines. Once I finally reached the front desk, I was told I had to wait for a phone call to let me know when my room would be ready, even though I booked weeks in advance and check-out was at 12 PM. No room had even been assigned to me by that time. I was told the hotel was overbooked the night before and again that day. I didn’t understand how that explained the delay, considering check-out is at 12 PM and check-in starts at 4 PM. It was now 4:45. I noticed others waiting as well. I ended up waiting an hour myself. As a frequent traveler, I’ve never experienced anything like this. When I finally got to my room, I realized only cable TV was available. It’s 2025. No smart TV, no streaming options. On top of that, there’s no free WiFi unless you’re a Bonvoy member. Otherwise, it’s $9.99 a day, which is just wild. The bathroom also wasn’t cleaned properly. There was hair in the tub and little black specks. I had to clean it myself. Then on Saturday around 10 AM, this loud rattling sound started coming from the bathroom. I called the front desk, and they said someone would come, but after the noise randomly stopped, I called again and was told it was coming from another room with maintenance issues and I’d probably keep hearing it. And I did. It came back twice later that day and twice again the next morning. It was startling and frustrating every time. No accommodations were made.

Room was nice but i didn't like the couch pressed up against the window. It forces you to get on your knees on the couch to look out the window at Lake Michigan. Also the phone did not work nor did the electrical sockets at the desk next to the phone
