Great view of the Lake

I got to hotel just after noon and they were already checking in. The front desk had rooms available and it ended up I received a great lake view room. Overlooking Lake Shore Drive! The hotel is a classic looking building but the beds TV and furniture were all great. Comfortable place to stay. Lounge and bar offered good food. Service dog friendly too!

Great for high end shopping, if that's what you want, but we were disappointed with the lack of souvenir shops. All i wanted was an Illinois fridge magnet but i couldn't get one anywhere, they all said Chicago. We had travelled Route 66 and had collected a magnet from every state, except Illinois. There wasn't even a Route 66 shop, even the locals were baffled when we asked them. Beautifully clean city though, and not as noisy as i thought it would be. The flowers around the city were lovely, not what i expected to see at all. Plenty of places to eat and drink, and a great choice of cuisines. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Room was very clean as were all areas of the hotel we were in. Staff was very friendly. The hotel really is beautiful and is a throwback. Certainly not modern compared to some others in the area but still elegant.

Our room over looked Lake Michigan. It was gorgeous. The staff was pleasant and responsive to questions. You could tell it was an older building because even on the 7th floor you could hear the street, but that really did not bother us. We would stay again.

Hotel room smelled like 100’s of people had smoked in it and there was no heat. The lake view was stunning but that meant we were on one of the busiest streets in Chicago, at a street light, so it sounded like being on the Daytona 500 track.

Our favorite place to stay in Chicago! Our lake view king room was huge! The location in our favorite neighborhood is fantastic - close to a beach and transportation. The staff is friendly and helpful. Coq D’or has been our favorite bar in the area for years - wonderful atmosphere and the best bartenders!
