We love staying at emc2 when we have an appointment at Northwestern Hospital. It is just around the corner and close to hospital parking, which is cheaper than valet parking. The restaurant on site, The Albert, is great, and we love getting dessert for the night here. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We love the design of the rooms. They are functional and nicely appointed.

Room was not at the level that their picture show online not only was the room small. The showerhead didn’t work. The shower leak all the way out the floor to where you’re walking and puddles of water all day toilet leaked but hey, at least the horn worked.

I was happy with the scenery and comfort of the hotel definitely love it the valet driver was excellent and very accommodating. Far as the inside service I did not get what I paid for when I checked in I was presented with what to know or what services I would be expecting. But overall thank you
