The property was in a great location for most of the attractions of Chicago, The only complaint regarding the room was the tv not working in the evenings for some strange reason it just wouldn’t pick up the channels properly

Booked last minute for a great rate and it was awesome for the price! Impeccable service from the front desk. Room was small but clean. You can't beat the area, downtown Chicago was fantastic! Only downside was $53 a day to valet park and the old guy parking cars was irate I didn't give him cash and threw a very public fit. Others said the same. Besides that, our stay was great and I applaud the great staff at the front desk. Thank you!! We'll be back!

The tv service did not work for the entire building. One of the elevators was broken. The room was incredibly small with one window that did not open and was blacked out. The location is good for walking places but valet parking only gives you in/out twice a day. It is also hard to park and pick up the car because of traffic on the street.

The room was very comfortable, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom lighting was very helpful as it was bright enough to actually see what I was doing and the shower had excellent pressure. It would be helpful to have more space on the counter for toiletries that I bring, but this hotels space was pretty standard. The air conditioner worked very well and thermostat was easy to use The only issue I had at all was that the television did not work for the entire stay, but that was a hotel wide problem and they gave a generous discount for that upon check out.
