A hotel that has seen better days with some of its amenities. having stayed here twice previously can certainly see the decline especially at the price point they put themselves at. Nothing major just a few frustrations with various facillities etc that shouldnt happen. One key benefit was recognised on check in and an upgraded room was given which was appreciated, excellent view of park with balcony! Staff are excellent in the main, location is very good. Bed was very comfy which are the main issues. Ok shower ameneities, shower spacious but water pressure on the low side but manageable. Just need to iron out the issues and give the hotel some TLC. Next time i visit Chi ill prob try somewhere else tbh.

The property was great, clean, chic. The jacuzzi was not working but they attempted to get the jets going. I would recommend having a water dispenser in the lobby for guests. Chicago is a walking city and it would be nice to have water upon arrival. There is a Starbucks inside and connected to a CVS. I would definitely stay again.

The view at the 18th floor was great. Location is convenient to shopping, restaurants and parks. Downside are: no free breakfast like all other hotels we’ve stayed in, not even free water inside the room. The game room is close all the time, door won’t open with key card. The jacuzzi didn’t work.
