Everything! Very clean and comfortable. After a very long day working a Trade Show it was nice to come back to a secured & comfortable spacious mini apartment. It was great to know the owners are upstairs in case I needed anything.

The city facing room had an unobstructed view of the Willis (Sears) Tower.. AMAZING... I really liked the 'classic' look of the room.. really nicely upkept original HARD WOOD doors and frames. Classic marble in bathroom, etc. Reminded me of the upscale 'Conrad Hilton', but at a much affordable rate.
