The location was central, the staff was incredibly sweet (thanks Tony!!), and the restaurant makes a killer French toast. I would highly recommend.

5.0 / 10.0

I had a great experience: quick check-in; quiet and clean room; nice restaurant and convenient location.

5.0 / 10.0

The staff was friendly and attentive. It’s not a big hotel but I appreciated the small details, like the free hot coffee and chocolate corner. It was a nice treat after arriving from the cold. The restaurant had great food. I ate out at another restaurant for breakfast my first day and didn’t enjoy it. When I finally tried the hotel restaurant I regretted not eating there sooner.

Room was clean and the view was awesome! Walkable to restaurants and bars. Park right across the street. Walkable to museums and Soldier Field. Everyone was very nice checking in and out.

5.0 / 10.0

The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was wonderful and I loved being across from the park where you could easily go for a walk to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather and get some exercise in a safe location. I would stay here again.

2.0 / 10.0

I was thoroughly disappointed with our stay. The area overall was typical downtown Chicago and convenient for our plans. At check in we asked for a handicap accessible room as my wife recently injured her leg and was in a wheelchair/crutches/ The staff stated all of their room were "handicap accessible". When we go to the room, there was barely room to navigate the wheelchair into the door. The desk/dresser/closet combination was so large that we could not fit the chair into the rest of the room and had to leave the room switch to crutches and then walk sideways to get into the bedroom area. The front desk staff said the layout was identical in their rooms and I could move from a king bed to 2 doubles as that had a "more open" floor plan. The main bathroom light is on a motion sensor that triggers anytime someone walks in the room and the shower exhaust vent would not turn off. We asked for maintenance to look into the light switch/exhaust fan on 2 occasions but no one came up (the front desk staff confirmed no one was actually dispatched even though we reported the items). The elevators are extremely slow to arrive and appear to only have 1 of 2 in operation at any given time resulting in very cramped travel. We texted to have our car brought of valet when we were leaving and I was able to walk right up to the valet attendant and ask for the keys without being asked for any proof that it was my car.

Excellent location

4.0 / 10.0

The hotel is beautiful and nice. Completely quiet other than the cars driving by. Now I booked a city view but the room I had was a park view. When I checked in no one really smiled at me, I did not feel welcome. The conditioner in the shower was empty, I had to buy some.

10.0 / 10.0

Well kept, very friendly staff, great food at their restaurant

Location was perfect! Restaurant was charming. I was disappointed that the hotel was unwilling to allow late checkout which was an inconvenience for me given that my flight left late evening.

By far the worst hotel

6.0 / 10.0

It was a very nice hotel. I was satisfied with my room choice. I address my dissatisfaction with my room witn the front desk reception but nothing was resolved. So I just kept the room I had. Now my friend loved her room and she advocated for me about having my room changed but nothing was changed or resolved.

6.0 / 10.0

3 out of 10 staff were nice. I believe they need to get rid of trouble maker's.

Hotel was great ! Friendly staff… just a couple of hiccups but note noteworthy due to our overall experience. Will come back again!
