Don't stay here if you want a full service hotel

Hotel is very dark, hallways are dated. Historic feeling. Most of all, it doesn't feel like a hotel in terms of service. No sense whatsoever of anyone available to help, welcome you, no information about parking, food options, etc. Front desk was helpful when asked to store our luggage, however. No restrooms off of lobby, you had to go down a set of stairs and up a different set of stairs to get to one. Lobby is up one flight, when we checked in at night there was no one to direct us to the lobby. We had to flag down someone to take our order at breakfast but once it arrived, it was excellent. The2 best thing about the hotel were the bathrooms, which were very clean, spacious and modern, and the lobby "lounge,: which is set up like a library reading room and was very convenient for doing work or having a meeting.

Great Stay

With a great location and a knowledgeable and friendly staff this was an excellent three night stay. Hotel was clean and accommodating. I really couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend. The only thing I didn’t like was my shower had two shower heads and no door and the two rolled up towels that were placed at the bottom edge didn’t really cut it and my bathroom floor was very wet despite my best efforts.

I would stay here again in a different room. The AC did not work well in my room. The room service was good but it took an hour. Would be a good hotel for a group as there are lots of games to be played - pool, golf (indoor), roller skating, etc.

Beautiful historic old building, with significant attention paid to historical preservation in conversion to hotel. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere in lobby and contiguous rooms. The advertised “view of Millennium Park” was exaggerated, actually only possible if one kneels on the sofa and cranes your neck. Shower is problematic as the glass enclosure leaks, creating a huge puddle extending across the entire room to the toilet. It took 5 large bath towers to sop it up. Otherwise we had a pleasant stay.
