The view from the hotel room was incredible, definitely worth the extra cost. The beds were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The hotel had a modern and cool vibe, which added to the overall experience. The staff were really helpful and friendly, always providing answers with a smile. The rooms and the hotel as a whole were very clean, which is an important factor for me. The location was amazing, with easy access to the marathon running paths, shops, restaurants, and public transportation.
Nothing that I didn't like.
Spectacular views of the river and city from our room's table. Convenient location near shopping and close to Midway's orange line and the N-S red line. Cleanliness of the hotel facilities. Friendly and helpful staff
Almost perfect, but a few minor drawbacks.
We loved the convenient location of this hotel downtown. It was easy to access tourist attractions and the river walk, making it perfect for exploring the city, especially in the summer months. The hotel was close to public transportation options like busses, the subway, and taxis, making it easy to get around. Restaurants and coffee shops were also nearby, creating a delicious and aromatic atmosphere. The breakfast in the morning was enjoyable, and we particularly enjoyed the rooftop bar in the evening. The rooms were perfect, and we loved the incredible view of the river and city. The staff were warm and friendly, and the hotel had a clean and artistic vibe.
Nothings.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff, especially Levi, went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. They asked about my preferences and even took care of the charges for my wifi connection. Despite not being a regular guest, they still provided me with free internet. The view from my room was stunning, overlooking the river and Chicago theater. The hotel's location was perfect, as it was within walking distance of all the downtown attractions and a nearby grocery shop. The lobby lounge and rooftop bar were fantastic, offering delicious drinks and a friendly atmosphere. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, thanks to the hardworking housekeeping staff. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.
Nothing I didn't like to be fair.
