I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right next to Millennium Park and other major attractions. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. The only downside was the lack of on-site dining options, though the breakfast I had was delicious. Overall, it was great value for money!

The hotel had a fantastic location, making it super convenient to explore downtown Chicago. The rooms were nice and comfortable for our stay, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, we did have a bit of trouble with unpleasant smells coming from neighboring balconies which made it less enjoyable at times. Overall, it felt like a great value for money, especially with the complimentary breakfast treat for our special occasion.
