Urban experience? at a cost?
The location was good and the staff friendly and helpful! The price was higher than usual due to demand (I guess) I was surprised with a $25/ day + tax charge - urban experience fee at the end of the 2 nights (& glad my visit this time was not longer) I have stayed in Chicago a lot and never heard of this fee before! which means I probably wont stay again!

I just was not impressed and I know that the hotel has minimal control over art but as a minority woman it was a little off putting to see so many artworks of African Americans in the darkest hour of America. I think it contributed to the micro aggression experienced (a guest saw me and my white colleague exiting for dinner and immediately came to me and asked if I was valet). If

Birthday in Chicago
Staff and location—high marks. Our room was “quirky”—a mirror in the shower; only found one outlet that was useable. Phone and clock between the beds were not plugged in and the outlets were behind a built-in headboard that we could not see or get to.Not sure how to explain……TV was set to Spanish so we couldn’t read instructions. If we did find a station in English, the tv would randomly switch to Spanish. Mostly, the tv stuff made us laugh, but the lack of working outlets was frustrating. Bed was comfortable. Again, thanks to the staff who made our check-in and check-out very pleasant.

Really safe and quiet, staff were nice. I didn’t realize spa wasn’t directly in hotel so you’re responsible for paying for the providers parking. Other than that it was a great stay and the restaurant downstairs was amazing

Francisco at the front desk was amazing at check-in. The hotel allowed us to check-in early without issue. We requested the use of a refrigerator, and one was in our room prior to checking in. The showers and water pressure are amazing! The daily resort fee is not appropriate for what you get......this seems to be a hidden charge.

Was pretty disappointed to find out that even though our original look into this property it said you offered parking only to get there and find out it was just a public parking garage that we had to pay $68.00 a day for or pay your property $75.00 a day for valet parking so that was a extra charge we were not really thinking to have.

Great customer service. Cute museum hotel. Close to everything, walking distance to navy pier and shopping on Michigan Avenue. Only complaint, beds super low to the ground. Great stay, would stay again.
