The room was cold, and the air conditioner did not work properly. Every time a nearby door closed, I woke up from sleep due to the small and crowded space.

It wasn’t the hotel I thought I was getting, it was a combination, merger or something, there was construction and for Chicago, that was a really small room

The hospitality here is unmatched. As soon as I stepped upon the premises I was being taken care of. Everyone was so nice, and Pedro was so helpful. Very nice room, view, and overall experience. Will be coming back.

Perfect location - great hotel

This is the perfect hotel for a stay in Chicago. Transport to the all lines round the corner, including for the airport. Walking distance to the theatre district, Navy Pier, Wrigley Building etc. The staff are amazing, always welcome you back and approachable for guidance of the city. Pedro especially was so kind. The bed is very comfy, shower powerful and a clean spacious room. I'd come back here again every time.
