The parking situation was a bit of a hassle since it was a few blocks away. However since me and my boyfriend were not gonna drive around the city anyway it was not that much of an issue. We took the train and bus everywhere we needed to go. The hotel is near a train station and a bunch of bus stops so it was very simple to just hop on. The hotel itself is in the heart of the city which was very convenient because a lot of places were walking distance. The room itself was pretty small but very nice and with a beautiful view of the city. The room did not have a mini fridge which we were not aware of and didn’t think to ask since many hotels do. We were able to work our way around it but id say that was the biggest issue we ran into. Overall a great experience!

The property was very clean. It was in a great location, with a great view. Beds were kind of small. I didn’t realize when I booked a room with two beds, it would’ve been two queens or two fulls, but they’re two singles. The room was really small, but for the price, & not being in it very much, because you’re busy exploring the city, it was perfect.

Staff was nice and friendly. The self parking ramp is 3 blocks away. Not ideal if you have small children. Front desk just gives you a sheet with directions to the parking ramp and tells you to figure it out yourself without going over it. Getting around DT Chicago is intimidating if you're from out of town. My concern was safety parking 3 blocks away. The room we were placed in was right in front of the vending and ice machine, so you could hear people at all hours. The view was no better. It was the back of the building with a big loud fan. The fan inside the room was very loud as well. Since we were in Chicago for a concert, I didn't care enough to ask to switch rooms. However if I were there as tourists on vacation, I would have. If you can afford valet, pay extra for valet. Especially if you're traveling with kids or alone. Overall, the hotel was clean and staff was friendly.

Parking is way far away. We were put in room on second floor over looking main road. Very loud. Heard everyone on street. Didn’t sleep well at all. Fan in one area not working so it was warm in room. The room is great with two beds and two bathrooms. Very nice

Great and right downtown. Lobby is shared with the hotel next to it, they are merged older buildings. They’ve done a great job with them being older hotels.

Beautiful River View!
Our view from the 15th floor was stunning. We were in a standard room with a queen sized bed, but unfortunately neither one of us slept well because the bed is just not comfortable at all. We appreciated the hotel offering bottles to fill up with drinking water as that saved us a trip! I would recommend more hand towels and washcloths in the bathroom. We were only given 2 towels and one single wash cloth to use. Staff was kind and all in all it’s a beautiful and ideal location for travelers!

Location excellent so much in the area and the riverwalk, most within walking distance. Unfortunately the room was very small with no amenities no ice , no fridge, smaller bed , older carpet and older look to the room. The bathroom Was updated that was the high point of the room. Likely why the price was lower than the other hotels in the area
