Hotel was very nice and located close to so many things to do. Room was clean and bed was comfy! They have free coffee on the 2nd floor which is a great thing. I have stayed here more than once and would stay again.

I like the hotel and the area , make sure take the river view room it’s worth it. Room was clean, staff were friendly. We arrived 5:30 and all the rooms were sold out and we were sleeping in the second floor because the rooms suppose to be ready at 12-3 pm. The check in staff told us we need to wait until that time. Once they saw we were sleeping on the couch for 3-4 hours they told us it’s fine we will give you the room at 11. At least one of the staff were friendly and kind to give us the room . Overall hotel was good , but don’t wait to be clean the room every day . You need to tell front Desck that you want the room to be clean. Ask them they will clean. I love how they setup coffee area in second floor complementary. Since the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant but there’s a restaurant next to the hotel which is perfect for breakfast and lunch

I’ve stayed here twice several years apart and I would really recommend this place. The location is truly unbeatable. Minutes walk to Millenium park, tons of food and shopping nearby. I had an excellent, speedy check in and out with Reina at the front desk. I’d describe the rooms as nice, no frills, a little tight but overall the pricing is *incredible* for what you get. Pro tip: Uber for rides and SpotHero for parking will make your trip a breeze. There’s a good coffee machine on the second floor available 24/7 and LondonHouse next door has one of the best rooftop terraces in the city for drinks, and several nice restaurants. Like I said, location is amazing.
