I had a great stay here. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room was cozy. The overall vibe of the hotel was charming. My only complaint was the walls were very thin and my neighbors were very loud. Probably not the best choice if you want a quiet escape.

Excellent All-Around

Very nice rooms, great view and excellent location, with superb, friendly staff. The downstairs restaurant was also quite good. Only drawback of the property is a fairly limited lobby- not really much room available to wait for the rest of one's party to arrive.

Disliked: Staff & service
We’ve stayed in other Arlo properties before and have been very pleased. This one is located on a main street that is very noisy at night. The doors are also very loud so neighbouring rooms can be heard. The staff member who also checked us in, wasn’t the friendliest - asked if I had just made my reservation when I made it months ago and kept saying she “couldn’t find my reservation” - wasn’t the best first impression at all. Meanwhile we can hear the next customer beside us getting a free upgrade. The location is great if you’d like to be near millennium park and don’t mind noise. We proceeded to stay in other hotels outside of the city that had way better customer service then what we experienced, and much more affordable too.

Great location! A bit confusing figuring out where to stop with the car to register. We ended up paying the higher fee to use valet parking. Had to drive behind building in the alley for valet, but we found it convenient for us.

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
