Very good concierge John recommended us very delicious restaurants for dinner. As we very celebrating the 30th anniversary, we were surprised with a bottle of Champagne in our room from which had a superb view on the Chicago River and to the impressive skyline. For sure, one of the best situated hotel in Chicago Down town.

I like the service at the check in/check out counters. Especially when I checked out, the man who attended to me was very helpful. He made sure I got all the privileges given to me by the hotel upon checked in was credited. He even tried to enroll me at Marriot Bonvoy. The the extra mile of service was impressive.
