Keep in mind that you're going to have to spend another 60 per night to park your car. Which means you have to drag your suitcases a very long ways to get to the hotel. It shows parking on Google maps, but it's not free and I find it insane how you have to spend 250 per night for hotel and a additional 60 per night. Breakfast was terrible you literally only have 4 options to eat. Eggs Eggs with peppers and meat Oatmeal And cereal and that's it.

The location is great - it really makes the stay worth it. So close to great restaurant and walkable to N. Michigan Ave where all the shopping and stores are. The property itself is meh at best. It’s a little dated and rooms are old. Water pressure is nonexistent. The staff are very kind and friendly. Breakfast is complimentary but don’t have high expectations. It’s good enough to start your day. There was sausage, eggs, toast, bagels, oatmeal and yogurt. Coffee was decent. We paid an exorbitant amount to stay here due to the Chicago marathon but we knew what we were getting ourselves into.
