The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Pete's is a block away!!!

Christine, United States of America

It was in a good area and the room was clean and comfortable and the price was great!

Amanda, United States of America

The view of the lake was beautiful to wake up too and I could have stayed in bed all day!

Shavontae, United States of America

Pool closed due to construction they should have given updates as to status of facilities

Jeffrey, United States of America

Everything was very good. However, there is construction on site so parking was more of a problem than I expected. It is valet parking and you need to make sure you are ready to take everything out that you need before you hand over the keys, because you don't have easy access to the parking area.

Marjorie, United States of America

The staff were friendly and very professional. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to continue taking care of guests on the last day of operations. Our bellman had been at the hotel 27 years. Another had served 33 years. The team functioned as a well oiled machine though their hearts must have been breaking.

Shelley, United States of America

Hotel was closing in one day. Poor service, limited towels, no shampoo or conditioner, no vending. Each time we asked the staff for something the reply was, “ sorry were closing tomorrow”. If you can’t serve your guests, you shouldn’t be open.

Tj, United States of America

Convenience o museums and Grant Park. Easy to move along Michigan Ave yet not crowded.

Karen, United States of America

Staff was very pleasant especially the valet an security. Great location

Yolanda, United States of America

Kat, United States of America
