The hotel check in was smooth and easy! Our room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the river. The workout rooms were well equipped and pool area is large and bright (but lacks an outside sun deck). This hotel is located in an excellent spot for enjoying the Riverwalk, walking to the Lake front, shopping on Michigan avenue and easily getting to lots of great dining options. Would stay again!

6/10 Good

Bed was comfy, room was nice and cold for a muggy day. Roof top bar is a nice treat for a cocktail and view. Sheets were very cheap and not soft. Lobby looks grest, for price of hotel but hotel itself needs some TLC. Doors are all scratched, toilet short, old and ran if we didn't make sure to put handle up all way. The details, room smelled like someone partied there the night before.

An excellent property in a great location in Chicago. Walking distance to Michigan Ave., the Riverwalk, the Red line and lots of restaurants and bars. The hotel service was excellent from the check in to the restaurant staff to the bar service. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We'll be back!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The staff, first and foremost, were exceptional at every interaction. I always felt welcomed, wanted and assisted. The room we stayed it, a 20th floor suite, was practically perfect. The bathroom vanity had sharp chips at the bowl rim/front edge and the carpet was very torn in one spot. Dirty windows are to be expected in Chicago. None of these were awful nor deal breaking. The amenities were great, the bed was comfy and I can't complain about anything else. I would certainly stay here again.
