The check-in desk was accommodating, letting us check-in early and holding onto our bags after we checked out. It was clean and the window view were great.

Room was clean and bed was very nice. Parking was on the expensive side but we did have in and out access. Staff was rarely at the front desk so it was hard to get ahold of them. Our TV didn’t work the 3 days we stayed, we did mention it twice but no one fixed it. Shower also didn’t have a lot of warm water.

Beautiful views.
Checked in 2pm because that’s what the email said. But when we checked in we were told we could have checked in at 11am. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time because we were exhausted from traveling and had to kill time. Bed was comfortable, tub was large. Baseboards should be cleaned more frequently. Would stay again next time we’re in Chicago.
