"Lovely view and clean room. Room was next to the elevator so a bit noisy…luck of the draw, I suppose. However the bedding felt of lower quality than the last time I stayed there. And he rooms felt a little dated compared to other hotels of this quality. Overall, a nice stay in a good hotel."

"For the most part our stay was good. It was a very busy hotel, and the pool was nearly impossible to use. It’s a rather small pool and it was packed with small children. Not the hotels fault, but disappointing that we couldn’t use it. Our bathroom shower was not clean and had a lot of hair in it when we arrived. Breakfast was decent. It’s nice that it’s included and there was a wide variety to offer. The eggs were undercooked each day. Saturdays breakfast should start earlier. There were quite a...

"The staff were very friendly. The room is very dated (it looks NOTHING like the pictures on the website) - the carpet is dirty, and there is an odor (old, damp). I chose this property specifically because it had a pool. However, it was only open Thursday and closed Friday through Sunday. "

"Location was very good. We had an issue with the room next to us having a party, it was handled immediately. The Manager on duty 3/27 was WONDERFUL - we arrived at about 2 am and he was great. The food at the restaurant was excellent, but there were very few options. They do not answer the phone for in room dining. Also, one of the bartenders was incredibly rude to a guest and said 'You are asking for too much for free' as the guest walked away when a guest had asked for some silverware butter...

"The property is in a decently central location on South Michigan Avenue and there is easy access to red line trains within a block. Was good for the price. Only thing I didn’t like was that when I used the shower the lip of the shower was not tall at all so I got water all over the bathroom floor. "
