Reviews

• Matt from United States (9/10)

  From Start to finish this was a phenomenal experience. The staff were so warm and welcoming and fully understood the difference between service and hospitality. The entire staff were very kind and professional but Sarah, Antwon, Caitlyn, and Nancy really made me feel at home. I really appreciated the opportunity to upgrade my room to the spa suite. That bathroom and tub were unmatched. I enjoyed myself so much I stayed an extra day I’ll be visiting Chicago again soon and refuse to stay anywhere else.
