Great location, comfortable rooms, welcoming lobby, helpful staff. Also the best water pressure in a hotel shower that I have ever had! It's not a luxury hotel but it's clean, relatively quiet, and right by all the downtown activities as well as the red line.

Everything was perfect. The lobby smells sooo good, every minute of every day! The beds are amazing...housekeeping is impeccable. The people working at the concierge stand outside are so helpful and friendly, and one of them literally stopped traffic so I could walk across State St. to catch my Uber lol. It is within walking distance of fantastic restaurants and the famous River Walk. I LOVE this hotel and will be staying here on my next trip to The Windy City.

Location - amazing, staff - wonderful, upkeep - very well done, room comfort/clean - great. Only thing I would say is have an area to microwave leftovers food and we never got the complimentary water. Otherwise I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

8/10 Very good

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It's a bit tired and the rooms need an upgrade. The front desk staff was pleasant, but not helpful. The bed was comfortable, but the towels were thin and worn. The pool area was nice especially because I was the only one there doing laps, but it is shallow and rather small. If there were families there with children it would be unpleasant.
