Nice, clean room, comfortable bed, everything felt/looked very elegant/luxurious, even the little gym was not bad at all (for a hotel gym)

Loved the location, the comfortable Eames chair next to the floor to ceiling windows next was great for enjoying the view. We had dinner and breakfast at the Grant Park Bistro in the lobby, food and service was great. Liked the extra details - qi charger on the alarm clock, robe and slippers, bluetooth speaker / bathroom mirror.

the rooms are very updated and aesthetically pleasing.

close proximity to all the attractions in the Loop

This was the nicest and most comfortable stay I’ve ever had. I will be coming back for vacation!

Great location. Staff was excellent. Espresso machine was a very nice surprise.

location was good, on site restaurant was very good, room was good.

Love the bathroom the Bluetooth mirror was the best feature in the bathroom.

The staff was friendly and patient. The room was very clean. They were able to accommodate me and get me a room even though I came a few hours before check in.

cleanliness, friendly staff, and great location to the marathon
