    The location was amazing and fab, really close to restaurants in a walking distance. We were in an extra comfy area near a museum and a movie theater. Magnificent Mile district was worth visiting.

    I chose this hotel for attending a board meeting and was impressed with the work-friendly space and amenities provided. The facilities were well-equipped and conducive for getting work done efficiently and comfortably.

    The only service I missed for my work was a dedicated business center with printing and scanning facilities.

    The location here is great, right in the heart of the city. We had a meal at Frontera Grill, which is just a short walk away. Afterwards, I popped down to the bar downstairs and enjoyed some tasty drinks. 🍹

    The hotel was wonderful and clean with awesome views of the downtown. the staff was cool and around most of the time. - the room was exceptionally nice, I liked the bed and clean bathroom. - This property was set in a very central area just off within walking distance to the trains and the River Walk. - the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish, totally recommend.

    Stayed in a chic, vintage building with great art galleries nearby. Enjoyed craft cocktails and delicious bites at Broken Shaker. 24-hour front desk and access to gym were convenient. Public transit from O'Hare was easy.

    Oh, I had to PAY CASH! How quaint, they don't accept online payments.
