Not going back
I have stayed at this property since 2009. I used to like the property and location. Nothing other than soft goods has been updated since 2009. The decor was the same since 2009. The bathroom is outdated. No coffee offered in room. The rooms are small and the beds are double sized instead of queen. There are many wonderful properties in Chicago to choose. Next time I’ll be staying elsewhere.I

Not too impressed.
Hotel is ok. Room is fair. But AC/heat were very loud. Front desk could be more friendly. Valet guy was extremely rude and unprofessional. Valet/parking fee was very expensive.

The staff was super accommodating. We got in way late, and we were super road worn and were able to check in after 11. The concierge(Lori?) placed the flowers I got for my girlfriend in our room for us, and I assume added all these candle(LED) for ambience...it was very nice. Nick, the bartender and the female bartender(never got her name), were very hospitable and very good hangs. The server for breakfast on Monday morning(12/23) was super nice, very prompt with service, and all around pleasant. Thank you for a genuinely great experience.

The view from our room was amazing, but the property itself needs some renovation done, the bed had a nasty smell like old furniture, was hard to fall asleep due to it.

If you do not want to pay $84 a night to park here please book somewhere else. The hotel is suppose to be luxury but to a trained eye, it was not clean. The mirrors were dusty, paint spills, chipped furniture, and a weird smell when you first entire the room. The beds were nice though and the water pressure was great. Breakfast is extremely expensive as well so you’d be better including it in your stay or going out for breakfast because the menu isn’t worth it. It was quiet near the rooms and they played good music at night over the weekend I stayed there. I’d never book here again though.
