The room had the best view imaginable and was clean, modern, quiet, and comfortable. Best location possible in chicago.

The location is excellent, and it is newly remodeled. The rooms are very large and our bathroom was huge, with a separate tub and shower.

Location is awesome! Within walking distance of everything you'd need. And great city views.

The location is amazing. Staff was very helpful. The restaurant at the hotel is also great!

The staff at the lobby is outstanding. Always kind and helpful. We received a complimentary upgrade to a river view room, which was incredible. You can't go wrong with this place: spectacular location, great service, nice rooms, and a cozy restaurant.

I found nothing not to be excited about. The room, the view, the staff, the building, the location, all contributed to making this the best birthday I ever had!

The interior design and furnishing was absolutely perfect!!! I loved it! From now on, I’m staying there!! loved it. The staff was also very nice and friendly!
