Disliked: Amenities
For the price we paid it wasn’t worth the hype. The only exception was the location. Although there is a museum within the hotel lobby, that was pretty cool. The toilet was leaking, the refrigerator either wasn’t working or broken or just not needed to be there and forgot to take it out, no remote nor clear guidance as to what was included in what we paid for. Valet is the only option which was fine for us due to wanting our car secure. I had high hopes for this hotel but it was lacking. The location is great and everything is walkable and nearby. The staff was nice and helpful when we called about our concerns and needs of the room. It was across the street from Trader Joe’s and around the corner from the Starbucks reserve which was really nice to have near by. Would we stay here again? Not for what we paid for. No VIP access according to the expected Expedia reservation. Idk what that could have been.

Best 3 things about the hotel was its location, the staff, and the shower! But, bring ear plugs! The sirens are pretty much non stop all night long and the sound is SO loud in the room. My brother stayed at a hotel on same street just 2 blocks down the road, and said you could hear sirens, but, wasnt deafening like in our room. Need to give guests ear plugs! Otherwise, the staff friendly and informative and the shower: amazing water pressure and HOT! Best thing in the room. Very few outlets in the room.

Cool hotel but some issues
Aesthetic wise it's a very cool hotel. Our room phone wasn't working so we couldn't contact the front desk or valet for car. The toilet had flushing issues and the shower leaked the wgole time we were there. It is in the middle of downtown Chicago so be aware of noise in the streets. Also thin walls. There was only 1 valet person so getting your car may take some time but everyone was kind.
