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.

    Great deal! Excellent location, great room with everything you could ask for, including washing machine and dryer. Absolutely spacious. Very clean. Parking is costly for those coming with a car - the location is so central that there is no need for a car. Highly recommended.
