Nothing too fancy but clean, nice facilities, everything in good condition and well maintained. The restaurant is very good! Couple small things: at our initial check in they seemed understaffed, but by checkout they had more than one staff member and also found a random water bottle under the bed that cleaning missed. Housekeeping never came by as far as I could tell in our three night stay. It’s reasonably quiet considering you are surrounded by a bustling city. You will hear sirens and construction if nearby, but wasn’t kept awake. View was great. Desk staff very helpful! The room lighting was really nice, lots of options to adjust brightness even individually over the beds. Overall very happy with our stay. For the price, it’s what I expected.

The restaurant on st Patrick’s day had zero Guinness no name brand spirits and the young man who was the waiter was amazing despite having to find solutions. National brands are great fan favorites not sure cucumber bark craft beer is what people come to Chicago for. Lastly asked for room to be serviced and didn’t happen I know it was busy but at least they could have let us know some how not a big fan of $700 for 2 nights without having some amenities
