I would definitely choose this hotel again if I ever come back to Chicago
Everyone was very kind, accommodating, and made you laugh or smile at least once . Everything was clean, beautiful, and exactly what is pictured on site
The location by the fire house is horrible, and no hair dryer in the bathroom.

Everything was fantastic!
Super friendly helpful awesome staff! At the front desk she heard me talking that we slept terrible on the train on the way in. Got us a rear room. Did not hear one siren at night and slept great. Beds and bedding were awesome, quiet AC/heat. QUIET rooms all around! I didn’t hear anyone in the hall, didn’t hear city street noise, I slept like a log! Great breakfast too! Open 6-10AM!! Amazing.

Great Chicago stay
The breakfast was good. Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the terrace off of it. The front desk staff went above and beyond.
No hot tub and a fire station on the next block. If you're a light sleeper bring ear plugs. We slept fine though. Maybe a couple more towels in the bathroom.

Great location, great staff!
The location of the hotel was great, it was in walking distant of almost everything that we had planned to do. The room was a suite and accommodated my family and I perfectly. The suite was clean with the exception off minor things, such as dirty window, dusty sprinkler and peeling wall paper. Also, things kept going out in our suite (bathroom lights, microwave, fridge) but the staff was exceptional with resolving all issues. The breakfast was ok, a great addition to our stay for a quick bite to eat and unlimited coffee all day long. The staff especially Yolo at the front desk was very helpful. She gave us a map to get a round and recommendations of things to do and places to eat. Overall a great stay, I would come back when in Chicago.
I didn't like how there were electrical issues in our suite that made the microwave, bathroom and fridge lose power. However, the staff was exceptional with resolving the issues.

Great hotel for a family vacation in Downtown Chicago
The hotel is excellent, fast check in/check out, clean everywhere, excellent beds, bed linen and fresh, new towels. Quite acceptable pool, also a cool terrace, where you can relax in the evening. Not bad breakfast, although the description of the breakfast was overstated, in general it is no worse and no better than any American breakfast. Good for visiting Chicago for a few days
It is very inconvenient to use the TV remote, you have to be a genius with buttons, why did they do it like that? Also, there is no or did not work a hood in the bathroom, which is very inconvenient.

It was easy to commute to places and the hotel was clean.
It was near all the attractions.
The parking was not free.
10 August 2025
A good value for money stay with pool and breakfast included. V nice staff.
as locations go close to all but not near anything, it was like 1 mile to any major destination say Navy Pier, Willis Tower, Museums further. breakfast good, and kids loved a pool on site. but value for money is V good.

Great hotel, Great Staff
Our room upgrade was great and very clean. Breakfast choices were good and staff throughout the hotel was very helpful and friendly.
Parking was a block over. I parked in the wrong one to start with, just a bit of a pain when we were coming in and leaving.

Short stay but very comfortable.
The location is perfect, well connected by public transport and close to the main attraction walking. The room was large, comfortable and very clean. The breakfast is the standard US style and was included in the room. The staff is nice and helping. If planning to return to Chicago, this hotel will be my first choice, if available.
