Reviews and Ratings
I loved the convenient location of the hotel and the friendly service provided by the staff. The rooms were not ready upon arrival, which was a downside, but overall a good stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, while brand new and modern, were a bit small and overpriced. However, the service was fantastic, with extremely friendly staff, though a bit delayed in room readiness. The location was superb for shopping and dining, yet proximity to a fire station could be bothersome. The dining was nice but expensive for what was offered.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Downtown Chicago, making it perfect for exploring the city. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, but the thin walls can be a downside. The service is friendly and accommodating, with some hiccups in communication. The dining options are varied and delicious, although a bit on the pricier side. Overall, a great choice for a city stay.
