Every receptionist was super sweet and helpful but Emma stood out. She treated me as if I were a life long friend. She truly made my first time in Chicago better than I expected with our short interactions.

It has a great location, good access to the subway, and good restaurants and jazz and blues clubs in the neighbourhood> the river is just a few blocks from the hotel. Spacious room, nice bathroom.
Typical American breakfast which, in my opinion, lacks fresh vegetables. Otherwise perfect place

Had a great time! Thanks!
Breakfast was great! Room was great. Elevator speed was great. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility!
It was so incredibly crowded due to spring break. Wow everything was overwhelming. We would have picked a different hotel that accommodated fewer people had we known. Breakfast lines were long and the pool was absolutely unsafe at night due to the number of people swimming at once.

The staff was super duper nice, the room was overall very clean. The breakfast was awesome and pool was perfect. Loved being able to walk everywhere.
The rooms were a little run down, cracks in the ceilings etc. When we turned on bathroom sink a huge glob of gunk and hair flew out onto my daughter’s toothbrush so that was pretty gross.

Perfect stay in downtown Chicago
This hotel was PERFECT. I would stay here again when in Chicago. It was centrally located, staff was extremely nice, room was so clean! Everyone - from the housekeeping to breakfast to front desk - was friendly. There is a lot of noise in downtown Chicago but we slept well on the 13th floor. The beds were comfy and the heat/ac unit was quiet. No complaints - great hotel!
Nothing not to like. Wonderful stay!

Wondeful Stay
Location is central to main attractions in downtown. Staff are welcoming especially Octaviano, director for rooms went out of his way to find us suitable parking. It was really a plus that coffee and hot chocolate are available 24/7. Breakfast had various food options.

over all my stay was nice and relaxing . would book again
the room was great .location was also good. the pool was okay not too bad. liked the temperature of the water. there was more than enough towels in the room . the room was clean .
there could have been more options for breakfast. for example, bacon , turkey sausage, pancakes and hash browns . the door knobs in the bathroom were loose and could be mistaken as an accidental on the person who booked the room.

first time in Chicago our stay was not bad but sure I can find cheaper lodging next time.
breakfast was excellent.
price was a little high for what we got. sure I could have found cheaper lodgings. while traveling with family every dollar saved counts.

Well located, clean, friendly and good value for money
Very well located and convenient to access Chicago attractions, restaurants and museums. Nice Italian restaurant on site. Friendly staff. Breakfast included. Good sized rooms.
Wifi is very weak in the rooms and drops regularly. Right next to the fire station so regular noise throughout the day and night. Pool and fitness room are small.

Perfect location for our tourist days.
Your breakfast was ridiculous. Never enough food and space for the people.

The stay was great because of the location and the staff at check is top shelf.
Room was good. Location is very good. The breakfast was good, except the room is just to small for the amount of guests on that Sunday morning.
The breakfast crowd. to many people, to rude it was not enjoyable.

The time in the hotel was good, but getting to it was hazardous.
We felt the price for our room for the size we got was good. The location was convenient to the Magnificent Mile. We spent a lot of time in the pool. The staff that we met were friendly and cheerful.
We really detested the drop-off procedures. There needs to be a designated lane since there isn't a pull-off. It was quite dangerous and not clear from the description that we would need to leap out of the car since we were stopped in traffic. When we checked out, we then decided to haul all of our luggage to the parked car a few blocks away instead of hazarding a pickup similar to the drop-off. It really detracted from the otherwise positive experience of the hotel.

I enjoyed the ambiance and room amenities. Very friendly and attentive staff
Sadly our luck of the draw was loud neighbors. Nothing the hotel could do about that though.

Great location, friendly staff and unbelievable comfort
Fantastic and modern hotel offering a spacious, clean and comfortable stay. Some of the comfiest beds in Illinois and the staff made the stay warm and memorable.
The sound proofing was a little lacking, with some noise from other rooms and hallways leaking in - but it was very minor, the modernity and comfort more than make up for it!

Amazing hotel, but the elevators need work.
The cleanliness and their breakfast 😮💨🔥
There are 3 elevator doors in each floor. Apparently, only one of those elevators were working. We waited for so long to go to the main floor due to the high volume of people checking out . Which, we completely understand. But then, while we waited, the elevator stopped working 🙄 we had to go down the stairs and so many people struggled, due to their luggages.
