I am disappointed to have to leave this review. The hotel is stylish, with comfortable beds and nice location but that is where the good news ends. The bathrooms are in a glass enclosure in the center of the room, allowing zero privacy. This is the first hotel I have ever been to that didn’t offer their guests coffee in the morning. Not even a coffee maker in the room. And when I asked the bartender at the restaurant if there was coffee for the guests anywhere, she rang me up ($7 for 2 drip coffees) with an attitude I’ve rarely seen. Service was truly hit or miss. Cleaning during your stay literally only consisted of making the bed and changing the towels. If you’re okay with a very expensive mixed bag, take your chances.

Nice place if just me overnight but this is not your ‘normal’ hotel room. It was a 7’ by 20’ room, sink along one wall opposite a frosted glass enclosure that is the toilet and shower. The king bed was installed sideways, wall to wall so if there are two of you, one has to crawl over the other. No power outlet on the far bedside and no bedside table theee so you have to get everything done. Before you crawl across your bedmate to go to the far side. No glasses for drinking from the faucet which is ok if you’re got a water bottle with you. A room to sleep in and that is it.

I am so pleased with my stay! The location was perfect! It's walkable to the Bean, Riverwalk, and the Chicago theater. The Gym was well-equipped and spacious, exceeding my expectations. I always book a hotel with a decent gym! They had Breakfast at the hotel, I just had to pay $22 and you get a full all-you-can-eat meal and coffee. The selection of food was abundant and fresh. Worth the $22 The interior was so cute and quirky. They have a big co-working space. Rooms were clean and high-tech. I will DEFINITELY come back.
