  • Izuj from United States (7/10)

    This is not my first time at CAA, and the location, facilities, and amenities of the is PHENOMENAL and what brought us back. Love having all the options for activities, great food, the rooftop bar and restaurant, as well as the fact that you are so conveniently located smack in the middle of all the action!! It was easy to go out, walk around, do something, and then come back to the hotel for a break. We really appreciated that! Getting to and from the airport (MDW) and around the city was super easy with the L train right there.

    I've stayed in a King room before, but this time we stayed in a double. The room had windows which faced an interior courtyard, so we didn't really have a view, but we could see the sky and sunlight; the room was super quiet and I had very restful sleeps.

    If you're looking in this area, are traveling with kids (small humans or adults), and want to be 'wow-ed' by the history and tasteful interior, I would highly recommend!
