Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were super clean and nice, they were disappointingly small with dingy lighting and an unpleasant smell upon check-in. Despite being comfortable, the room size didn't justify the high cost, especially with excessive extra fees for things like early check-in. The service from staff members throughout the hotel was outstandingly welcoming and accommodating. The location was convenient and easy to navigate. The dining experience ranged from overpriced to top-notch. The overall facilities were adequate, with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel offers fantastic service in a prime location close to the lake and upscale retail. The rooms are more than adequate, but the dining options could be improved. The staff goes above and beyond, even assisting with unexpected tasks during the stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and very clean, but the lack of space for luggage was a downside. The location was fantastic, near all the places I wanted to visit, but the dining options were overpriced and disappointing.
The hotel had beautifully comfortable rooms that were kept clean by excellent housekeeping services. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making my experience unforgettable. The location couldn't have been more perfect, just half a block away from Michigan Ave and walking distance to many downtown attractions. The dining options were delicious and reasonably priced. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a great stay.
The hotel has a prime location, ideal for exploring downtown Chicago and close to Michigan Avenue. The rooms were well-equipped but the proximity to noisy elevators was a downside. The staff was friendly and accommodating, though some issues were not resolved promptly. The dining experience could have more variety and higher quality. Despite some minor drawbacks, the hotel offers good value for the location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were excellent, but we had to endure noise until the specified check-in time, and they were not as clean as expected. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with the staff being lovely and helpful, but there was a regrettable incident where my husband was wrongly accused of not paying his tab and got continually bothered. The location was exceptional, right in the heart of downtown with easy access to key points, but the parking situation was a letdown. The dining options were average but nothing extraordinary stood out. Overall, a decent stay with some highlights and some lows.
The hotel rooms had dingy carpet and paint, some without windows, and limited lighting. The elevators were small, and additional fees were excessive. However, the hotel staff was exceptionally welcoming, kind, and attentive. The location was perfect for shopping and sightseeing, close to the Magnificent Mile and restaurants.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of downtown with everything within walking distance. However, the room cleanliness left much to be desired, and the service had its ups and downs. The dining experience was passable, and the facilities were decent.
The hotel rooms were small but comfortable and very clean, yet the extra fees for early check-in were excessive. The service was helpful and friendly overall, but some noise disturbances were noted. The location was convenient for most activities, and the dining experience varied from terrible to good. The facilities provided were satisfactory, with some room for improvement.
The hotel had a great location near Navy Pier, 360 Chicago, Millenial Park, shopping, and restaurants. The rooms were large, clean, and comfortable, although the mini-bar fridge was not plugged in. The service was friendly and quick to resolve any issues. Dining was reasonable, but some items arrived cold. Overall, a convenient and friendly place to stay.
