Great stay for family
My 3 kids and I spent one night and the room was very large for Chicago (2 queen beds). Everyone in the front lobby were so friendly. The rooms were clean. They stored our luggage prior to check-in and after check-out so we could spend two full days in Chicago. The kids used the pool at night and it was perfect.

I have nothing but good thing to say about this hotel. Excellent service, location and facilities. The pool and surrounding areas were always clean. The rooms were cleaned daily by an excellent staff. Front desk people, doorman and security all great. Chek-in and out was a breeze.
Walking distance to the River Walk, Millennium Park, Navy Pier and others are fairly close. Red Line train station only a block away.

Perfect central location to walk to almost anywhere. Hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Only two negatives of our stay was the internet connection was too slow to stream Netflix and uncomfortable pillows. Minor issues and we would definitely stay there again!

Location was great. Room was nice. Water pressure in the shower was not great, could barely feel cleaned off after. Other than that, we appreciated how welcome we felt staying with a pet.

Great hotel!
The staff was so friendly and professional. Room and lobby were nice and clean. The only drawback was the starbucks coffee machine was out of service. It did get noisy, but typical of downtown. I would definitely recommend and stay again!

Poor service
Hotel refused to valet our car. We had to park car on the street hoping it would not be stolen. Created a lot of stress for the entire family, ruining our vacation. Checked out early and left Chicago as soon as we could.
