The room was very nice, staff were very friendly but what made it excellent is the location. I went with my mom who can’t walk long miles but then the location made it easy for her to have the River Cruise as well as the Millennium Park which are just few minutes away from the hotel.

The staff was cool, they even gave me a free upgrade to a room with river view for me and my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. The only thing I wish was outlined is that they had a $100 holding fee before hand.

Staff were super helpful checking in with our rental car and made the checkin process easy! The room did not seem to have soundproof windows but I was so tired and the bed was super comfortable that I passed out. They had shampoo and conditioner but no body wash. The shower was a bit outdated but there was plenty of hot water! Valet had our car waiting for us which made the $76.00 in/out parking fee kinda worth it.
