Really nice hotel that is centrally accessible to all of the sights that Chicago has to offer. On the first morning, there was a strange noise coming from the pipes that was really loud, but the front desk was attentive and reassigned me a new room and had my luggage transferred while I went out to sight-see during the day. My new room was quiet, clean and beautiful. I really enjoyed my stay and love Chicago!

Many bad issues. Without any real reson hotels have the ability to force a $30 daily charge on top of room rate. Its a bait and switch. They say you get $15 credit for 1 drink at a bar daily only open 1p to 11pm when you dont drink alcohol is useless so im paying $30 for 2 plastic bottles of water left in my room. That costs the hostel pennies. And a drink that costs them $1 so they create backend charges for a hotel with zero amenities, no pool, spa, or gym. A resort fee essentially with no resort. And the restaurant food was the worst I ever had I tragicallyhave to say. 3oz fish for $40 was probably frozen fish, virgin cocktail still $16. Worse than cafeteria food and paid $75 for dinner and $40 for breakfast. $8 for gmo orange juice from a jug. When their menu says fresh squeezed, hell no. $6 for milk not even organic. Literally insane what they get away with there. No way people return to that hotel. They are the essence of corporate greed. In addition, a $100 per night preauthorization charge to the card for "damages and room service" I spoke to the server and they said they have a executive chef, no they have a cook with a high end cost menu and cafeteria quality non-organic food. No way was any food chef quality.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel it was pretty convenient for me. They do have a destination fee and I believe they charge incidental fees for each night and not just one for your whole stay. You park in a parking garage across the street but the bellhop will take all your belongings to your room. The room itself is pretty small but since I often do solo trips I didnt mind it. I enjoyed the stay overall and plan to stay here again.

Walls were unusually thin. Felt as though I was in the conversations from the rooms next door. Elevators were slow and not functioning correctly. Rooms were small, cramped and the closet was a little space not even big enough to hang up any clothes. Overall the hotel seems to present itself as a high end 5 star hotel and I would not even give it 1 star. Needs a complete overhaul.
