Check in and valet parking all went very well. Great place to stay!!

It was great except we booked 2 beds and only got 1and a roll away. Also handicapped room we didn’t ask for that had no lip on the shower floor so entire bathroom floor got wet when we showered. People were very nice.

An incredible, unique property- gorgeous atmosphere, fantastic views, amazing restaurants, comfortable accommodations, lovely staff

Gorgeous facility and exceptionally helpful, kind staff. Great dining options. Loved the gym.

Love that this hotel can keep me fully engaged on a cold Chicago day!

Truly wonderful place. Historic charming perfect location. Few notable things that I think are still related to Covid. No hotel based food on Sunday. Didn't even have water or coffee in lobby. Game room is closed on Sunday. No housekeeping in rooms no mini bar not even a couple of bottles of water. No water in the lobby. This is a Hyatt so they need some work arounds. No place to buy any thing within the hotel. It felt like a ghost town on Sunday and Monday. There is no business travel now so close amenities on other days.

The HVAC is controlled by the outside temperature. Our room got to 80 degrees a couple of times and the A/C would not come on because it was only 55 outside. Bad communication on room service availability was also strange. Due to the pandemic, they don’t service rooms daily. Beautiful old building but this was all disconcerting at best.

I’ve stayed at a lot of places downtown Chicagoland- this place is magical, clean and kind. I will go back to Chicago again just to stay for longer CAA.

This was such a great place to stay. The games room was so much fun. Cindy's was a great place to just grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere but there are better and more affordable places to eat within walking distance. The hotel was wonderful and we will be visiting again.

Beautiful property in the perfect location. Walking distance to parks, museums, theaters, river, and other attractions! Great rooms and staff. One of the reasons we chose the hotel was for the facility with the game rooms, bar, and rooftop viewing. We had two teenagers with us and they loved having a basketball court there. It was great, except they were often told they could use it because it was too late when it was only 645 pm. This was a disappointment for them and for us. But, overall a great stay.

The property has history and unique decor make it a great place to visit.

The stylish blend of sleekness and rusticism made this a very unique hotel.
