Reviews

• Olga from Russia (9/10)

  I like the size of our room. It was very clean except windows. For the room with balcony it's important. I stayed on the 15th floor. I like the floorplan.
  I sent a message to the hotel team and they upgraded my room because of my birthday. It was very nice of them. The balcony was big and we enjoyed the view.

• B from United States (9/10)

  Location good for walking to Millennium Park. The facilities were generally great, very pretty design, outdoor deck and sitting area was lovely, outdoor pool and hot tub are a nice perk. Clean rooms, comfortable bed, good space layout in the room. Staff was friendly and professional. Good coffee in the room and nice complentary soap, lotion and shampoo that was not overly perfumed. We had a nice view of the Wrigley building peeking between other tall downtown buildings.

• Korey from United States (8/10)

  The room had a very nice view of Lakeshore East Park. And there was a steam room! It is hard to find a decent steam room these days.
