It was a nice property. The staff was excellent and it was very conveniently located by the lake, trains and downtown. The room was a little musty but it was really nice. As it is in any location in that area of Chicago, it is pretty noisy, but earplugs really help.

The staff, location and comfort of the bed makes this one of better places to stay in Chicago. We loved every moment of our stay! Highly recommend this beautiful hotel to stay within walking distance of all the things, but to be far away enough from the crowded areas. Also highly recommend the wine and beer bar up the street! It has great outdoor seating and great vibes overall.

The friendliest hotel in Chicago.

The room was nice- clean and moderately updated. Great location, easy access to public transport. But the best part was the team- every single team member was so wonderful- esp Ellie, Michael, Tim were just the best. Will be back!

Great location, wonderful staff

Tim checked me in at the front desk and he was helpful, friendly, and made the process easy. We were greeted by a staff person pretty much any time we entered or exited the hotel. The room was clean and beautiful, the bed comfy. The location was great for walking downtown. The only downsides were the construction in front of the hotel (temporary) and the quite loud air conditioner (although the loud AC helped drown out street noise). Wonderful stay overall and would stay again the next time I’m in Chicago.

Friendly staff, valet parking was so worth it. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Didn’t love the rain shower head- too little water pressure. It was loud at night- a live band was playing nearby til after 11pm plus traffic noise- but I’m attributing that to a music festival that was happening. Would definitely stay there again.
