With the exception of being in downtown Chicago and all the city noise that accompanies, this was the quietest hotel I’ve ever been in. And they were booked! Awesome and the property was spotless.

Solid no frills hotel
Fun hotel at a great price. Though the hotel is newer, it was another hotel previously. Some of the fixtures from the previous hotel are still in the rooms and are falling apart. Rooms could use more closet space. Customer service was not bad at all, just very slow. There is usually only one valet working so parking and getting your car is a little slow. Great location, just be aware there is construction in the area, so it’s a little loud. The walls and windows are not sound proof at all. Though this hotel is part of the Accor group, if you are looking for luxury, this hotel is not it. The art gallery is a nice element.

I usually stay here this is my second time staying live the area and what’s around. The hotel its self is nice and a good hidden gem. Love the 24/7 museum and service. However our first room had a weird smell, along with a broken fridge we changed it and our stay was good after that.

Beats every Marriott property I've stayed at
I usually stay at Marriott properties but this hotel was exceptional. We had a corner room we gave us both the opportunity to be on concurrent phone calls. Climate control and room amenities were all great at a reasonable price.

The hotel is very cute and affordable. It has a nice seafood restaurant attached that also serves breakfast. The location is perfect, right off of Michigan Ave and I loved that all the shopping and restaurants were so close. Starbucks was a block away! My only issue is that the windows are not sound proof. I could hear sirens, cars peeling out, and people shouting at all times of the night. I’ve stayed at hotels in busier areas, but you couldn’t hear street noise. Other than that, I probably would choose this hotel again.

Good but needs some improvement, don't let them convince you to cancel uber for a taxi. Not all perks were mentioned. Beautiful museum, iron in room did not work. But still great just pick rooms carefully and be sure front desk agents aren’t running game for cab drivers/not mentioning all perks.
