I absolutely loved The view outside of my window was the Sears Tower/willis Tower and to the right I could see Lake Michigan. The night view and the day view were both spectacular. I couldn't have had a better view! The shower was amazing, the bed gave me some of the best sleep. I'll definitely stay here again.
