Well kept property and centrally located to everything. Transportation, restaurants, and shopping are all within walking distance. The krave station was a perfect bonus to our stay. The selection of hot drinks was a welcomed treat for those chilly days. The lobby, was very cozy and inviting. From the artwork to the fireplace, made the environment breathtaking. Unfortunately, we did not eat at the restaurant but they always seemed to have a nice crowd in there. Although the floor squeaked in our room, it was not a deal breaker. The cold water is filtered for drinking and there was a basket with items to workout with. Which I thought was a nice touch. If I am ever in Chicago again, I can see myself staying here again.

Rooms are old and not terribly clean. Mini fridge didn’t work and was not clean. The elevator is old and rickety. The whole thing could use an update. The staff was much nicer than other hotels in the area which I appreciated. Otherwise though… set expectations low for this one

So many things I love about staying here. First the staff. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Antonio the doorman makes me feel welcome and like family every time I stay. This time, I needed help with some business, copying and scanning at the very last minute and Jovan and Farma (spelling?) (the two managers on duty at the time.) went out of their way to help. I love, absolutely love, that all the water in the building is purified. That means the water in the sinks the water in the shower, are the drinking water is purified so that means I don’t have to go searching for bottles of water to bring to my room. I love the coffee machine in my room that uses the original Nespresso pods so I can bring my own decaf if I want. I love the tea maker in the room. I love the view. The only thing I wish, is that the bed was a tiny bit more comfortable. There were five pillows on my bed and all of them were hard and made my neck hurt. There wasn’t one pillow I could find to sleep on. I also wish there was a more cushy comforter. The one they have is so thin that it seems like there is no comforter. I do love that I can control the temperature in my room, making it warmer or colder as I need it. Many hotels don’t allow this or restrict it seasonally. I also love the nice restaurant they have attached, next to it. Perillas, a lovely restaurant with a nice choice of food and wine. There many restaurants around it and is within walking distance to the river

I feel like I lucked out in terms of finding an exceptional property that provides high-end accommodations but does so at a reasonable cost, especially compared to others in the same area. This place has been completely renovated and modernized, and the pictures do not do it justice. Extremely spacious rooms with very tall ceilings. The windows appear small in the pictures, but are actually quite large, and the innovative window seats are extremely cozy and innovative. Beautiful, spacious bathroom. Everything was super clean, and the staff went above and beyond to provide top notch service. They also went out of their way to greet me every time I walked into the hotel, and I found their positive energy to differentiate my experience. I want to also acknowledge the restaurant and bar. They run a very nice HH special on oysters (if you like that sort of thing) and bottles of wine, they have delicious food, and again, the service is impeccable. The location of the hotel is amazing (5 minute walk to the most popular architecture boat tour), and I felt extremely safe. I will absolutely stay here again next time I am in Chicago.
