First I’ll start with what I didn’t like. There is no free parking options and to valet your car over night is $65. The shower heads in my room were covered in a black gunk. The curtain in my room had yellowish brown water stains and the room smelt weird, I’m assuming from water damage. The pool is very small for such a large hotel, I wish the had adult hours because it’s hard enjoying the pool with a bunch of kids running, screaming and splashing. Tge breakfast options are small. I’m vegetarian and I wanted eggs but all of their breakfast sandwiches are pre made and warmed up. The front desk staff was mixed as far as helpfulness goes. I sent my daughter (15) down to order breakfast, she came back up saying the staff was not helpful in explaining what options were available with the free breakfast. I went down with her and asked another young lady who explained it to us and put our order in, she even tried helping me find a vegetarian option.The things I did like. The room was cute and for the most part clean. The gym is 24 hours and has a lot of different options as far as equipment goes and they have free filtered water and sanitation wipes to use before and after your workout. The gym also has a nice view of the city. The hotel is close to shopping, food and the navy pier with I loved. Over all I’d give the stay a 7 out of 10.

Deceiving photos, don't waste your money here.

The lobby is the only area of this hotel that isn't designed to deceive you by the pictures. First, know that if you pay for parking when you book your room- it's valet and if you self park, you will end up paying twice for parking. If you book multiple rooms, the hotel will not place you together, even if you request connecting rooms. They placed us on separate floors from each other, and the elevators are designed to allow you to travel only to your floor. So, we had to meet our friends in the lobby and then ride up to rooms together when we wanted to hang out together. Additionally, the rooms are much smaller than they appear in the pictures. The bathroom door does not close, it's a slider that leaves a 1/2" gap on both edges, and there is no fan at all. The rooms can only be cooled to a lowest point of 66F. The upgraded "city view" is a view of some neighboring ugly rooftops and HVAC. The rooms' interior walls and ceilings are poured concrete with chalk markings from the construction crew that poured them. Typically I'd think this was cool and modern. But no, it was literally like they poured concrete and left the chalk markings for pipes to be bored. The mini-fridge cannot be trusted to cool leftovers at an acceptable temperature. The hotel has a ton of sounds through the night and just a bad vibe in general. Would not stay here again and cannot recommend anyone else to stay here. Wish I'd read the reviews before booking. Go somewhere else!
