This is the second year we have stayed here. We like the convenience of the location, the quality of the room, and the friendliness of the staff. They are very accommodating and our perks as a VIP Member were appreciated. Our room had a view of Millennium Park, The bed was very comfortable and the generous bathroom with a soaker tub and enormous walk in shower was great. This is a full service hotel with a lounge, restaurant, coffee bar and health and fitness amenities. Walking distance to Millennium Park, Magnificent Mile, and The Loop make it a perfect location to experience Chicago. Weekday rates are very good and it is just far enough away from Michigan Ave. to be a quiet retreat from the holiday hustle and bustle.

I paid for a view of the park but did not get a view of the park. When I spoke to the front desk, they said it’s because I checked in at 930 pm. I told the front desk I responded to the hotels text message a week before my reservation and said my plane lands at 830pm please do not give my room away. He said I could come back tomorrow and they would try to move me. I was very disappointed with that answer. Also, the bathroom was not clean around the edges of the floor and walls, there was something splattered on the walls. I expected better from Radisson Blu Aqua
