The property is extremely beautiful, and the neighborhood is upscale. There are a lot of things to do within walking distance and parking is plentiful. The inside is modern and well maintained.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. We were there to visit the Frank Loyd Wright and the Ernest Hemingway houses and they are about 15 minutes walk from the Hotel and the light rail into Chicago is just a 5 minute walk away. The only negatives are that there is very little counter space in the bathroom, and the description says each room has a kitchen, but it was really just a small counter space with a coffee machine and microwave and a few coffee cups with no plates, bowls, or flatware.

Great area -- walkable to all kinds of shops and restaurants. Hotel was lovely and room was larger than expected. Only complaint would be the really aged sofa in our living area -- no padding and when you sat on it, you sank in, since the springs were "done".

Hotel was practically empty and was not allowed to check in before 3pm. Rooms are dated and smell musty. Bathroom has been recently updated but that’s all. Great location.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised to find a bit of a classic hotel that has been maintained at a high level. It felt elegant and was located in an are with restaurants and shopping. One block from the train so getting anywhere is easy. We will def be coming back!

Very nicely maintained old hotel from the 1920's judging by the coved ceilings. Very clean. Good beds. Like a visit to the past. Steam heat. Air conditioners. Be aware, lobby is six steps below street level, and a portion of the hotel requires a fight of stairs up to the lowest elevator level. Il that is a problem for you, requst rooms in the portion served by lobby level elevators.
