“ This hotel was convenient for the Michigan Avenue and State Street shopping areas. The room we had overlooked Wacker Drive and the Chicago River. We particularly liked the bottled water available on each floor. ”

Terrific location at a great price; we had a great view; loved the water bottle station in the elevator lobby on our floor; rather drab interior décor; good, strong shower and big enough for both of us bathroom a bit small; café was more of a bar than place to have breakfast, but there was a Corner Bakery a few doors away; not much to dislike, actually

Friendly, wecoming reception staff. Location right on the river, perfect for visitors to the city. Tour buses stop opposite the hotel & only a short walk to parks & main shopping area. Spacious room with fabulous river view.

Location was great, on the bus line and near the L. Nice view of the river and windows that open for fresh air. Liked the architecture of the building. Filtered water dispensers on the room floors is a great idea. Exhaust fan in bathroom was loud and could not be shut off, had to keep the door shut. Received incorrect information regarding a tour we booked through the front desk.

Location, location, location. It could not have been better. All staff were friendly but the check-in environment at a kiosk in the entry way was not very personable. Room was very small and no iron or ironing board. They were available but not easily known if we didn't ask. I would have liked a concierge or a knowledgeble desk person to ask questions of.

Room was great--small, but very comfortable. Cannot beat the location, very close and convenient to all the Michigan Ave. favorites and the "L". Would stay there again! Had a drippy water faucet in the bathroom. Coffee was not tolerable, but there was a small bakery around the corner that you could get coffee from.

Bed was very comfortable, pillows were excellent. Loved espresso machine in second floor lounge. Nice towels, good quality shampoo and soap. No bathtub, keycard hard to use in elevator, needed to put biscotti out in the morning in lounge, not just in the afternoon.
