Great hotel and location.

I have stayed here 2 times and hope to go back soon. My only complate is the slow elevators and the exterior windows could use a good cleaning. All and all a great place to stay.

The Capital Grill is just across the street. Sit at the bar and order a "Stoli Doli". They are also one of the best steak houses in the country. It's a 30 second walk from the hotel. HAVE FUN!!!!!

one nighter

the front desk staff was great. the room was quiet and clean. i was in town for a convention and was able to park the car at the hotel and walk everywhere i needed. navy pier was 6 or so blocks. it was a very cold night and the streets were alive with people. had a great pork chop at ditka's. would definitely stay again.

Fantastic weekend in Chicago

I thought this Hotel was great value for the price . Everyone at the Hotel was very nice and would compare level of service to a 5 star Hotel. Neil, the concierge was especially helpful, everyone seems to want to go extra mile. Great city-great Hotel.

Make absolutely sure you check out The Signature Room on the 96th Floor of the Hancock Center. The view is world class period. They also have a great selection of unique cocktails and menu choices. Great experience.

Great location, but nothing special

We stayed here for a weekend. The room needed new carpet (dirty) and the A/C didn't work very well, but otherwise the room amenities were fine. Our room overlooked the indoor pool, so it was pretty noisy at times. I was hoping for some natural light for the price. The staff was very friendly and helpful - including the check-in staff, bellmen, and concierge. You can't beat the location - 1 block off Michigan Ave. so you are walking distance to everything in the Magnificent Mile. Extra bonuses include an adjacent parking garage for hotel guests and a very popular coffee shop chain in the lobby.

Provided a good room near where I had to be.

Rooms did not come with refrigerators, but one was provided after I asked whether one was available. But you have to ask.

nice

This hotel is in a great location for shopping, restaurants, and site seeing. It is very easy to catch the buses to visit the museums, aquaruims, and other required tourist musts. We bought the 3 day bus passes and city passes. I would not recommed the City pass for everyone. I would have rather bought the full access passes at the Shedd Aquaruim and the Field Museum and not the City pass. The staff at the hotel is excellent. They are very helpful and friendly.

Sightseeing tip: Not Applicable

The City pass has limited access to special exhibits. A full access pass is the best way to go if you are just visiting the aquarium and museum. The full access allows you to see everything and the city pass is limited to one show and not the best special showings. I felt obligated to visit all of the city pass sites just to get my moneys worth.

married couples weekend getaway

Perfect for what we wanted: easy access by car (self-park garage), clean and comfortable room with a view of city and great location!! Short walk to Michigan Ave, and to State St. Walked to Andy's for live jazz and dinner. Really was in the heart of downtown!!
