Good stay!

I’m not used to big city life and the traffic and parking instructions were not clear. I spent more money on parking than needed due to unclear instructions and the room was not super cold as most other hotels. HOWEVER, it was a great location for our stay, got to be on a train, ride the water taxi, eat good food, and drink nearby. 4/5 because it was great to say the least

I stayed at the Arlo with a group of friends for a girls trip. This hotel is the perfect location for a first time to Chicago. The neighborhood is very walkable, close to grant park, and close to many restaurants.
