Excellent location right in the heart of downtown Chicago, nearby train stations going into all sorts of directions (incl Union Station & O’Hare), plus key sights, shopping, and restaurants in comfortable walking distance. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of amenities on site. Beautifully designed lobby and dining areas as well as generously sized rooms exude a welcoming and warm atmosphere. Would come back anytime.

This is one of the best stays I’ve had in Chicago. It’s located near public transit, plenary of dining options, shopping, and various activities and fun places. The staff was always prompt, friendly, and attentive. And the indoor pool and workout facilities were very nice. I’m already planning to book another stay soon!

Too upscale for a vending machine

There was no vending machine to buy a drink which forced you to leave the hotel or pay high prices for it. For the price you should have internet free.

Bad food & no sound proofing

Nice hotel, decent location, but beware the view of theTrump sign across the river & prepare to gag. The room was clean and beds comfortable. Neither the heat control or toilet flush were working properly. We were forced to pay for a "destination package" of $25/day for hotel food -- will never stay here again because of this. The menus of the 4 or 5 eateries was unappealing. We settled on one since we were forced to partially pay for it anyway. The food was bland at best; we requested extra salt and pepper just to give it some flavor. Room service breakfast on day 2 -- again forced to partially pay for it. They forget to cook spinach in the omlet, so dumped a handful of uncooked spinach in the tray and threw the omlet on top. The third omlet ingredient wasn't included at all. I'm in downtown Chicago; I can walk less than block and get good food. Maybe this is why they force you to pay for hotel food; otherwise no one will eat it. We were on the 12th floor, with no sound proofing to the outside street, so listened to repeated sirens and bucket boys drumming into the night. As I said, will not stay here again.
