Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were super clean and nice, they were disappointingly small with dingy lighting and an unpleasant smell upon check-in. Despite being comfortable, the room size didn't justify the high cost, especially with excessive extra fees for things like early check-in. The service from staff members throughout the hotel was outstandingly welcoming and accommodating. The location was convenient and easy to navigate. The dining experience ranged from overpriced to top-notch. The overall facilities were adequate, with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel offers fantastic service in a prime location close to the lake and upscale retail. The rooms are more than adequate, but the dining options could be improved. The staff goes above and beyond, even assisting with unexpected tasks during the stay.

The hotel has a prime location, ideal for exploring downtown Chicago and close to Michigan Avenue. The rooms were well-equipped but the proximity to noisy elevators was a downside.

Despite some minor drawbacks, the hotel offers good value for the location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were excellent, but we had to endure noise until the specified check-in time, and they were not as clean as expected. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with the staff being lovely and helpful, but there was a regrettable incident where my husband was wrongly accused of not paying his tab and got continually bothered. The location was exceptional, right in the heart of downtown with easy access to key points, but the parking situation was a letdown. The dining options were average but nothing extraordinary stood out. Overall, a decent stay with some highlights and some lows.
The hotel rooms had dingy carpet and paint, some without windows, and limited lighting. The elevators were small, and additional fees were excessive.
