Fantastic Stay

Beautiful older hotel so near to the beach and Michigan Ave. So much in walking distance. Outstanding staff. Lobby bar, restaurant and ice water near front desk. Elevators and rooms small but expected due to age. Very happy to have stayed here. Extremely charming. Would return. Across the street from The Drake Hotel but I assume not near the price.

Good hotel overall, with some problems....

The only major issue we had was that the original room they had us in did not have a fridge. We pointed this out to them and they corrected the issue. We also were not thrilled that they charge a daily "convenience fee" just for staying in the hotel.

They drop their rates just to add destination fees. They won’t tell you that unless you ask or until you get there. It’s $24 a night and $100 deposit per night. The hallways are dark, the rooms are old and dusty. It is 2025 and they still have chairs and decor from the 1980s. It’s extremely dusty in the rooms. The vents are filled with dust. The carpets are old and uncleaned. The cleaners and doormen were amazing. The front desk women seem to hate their jobs. When I asked about the unexpected fees the two women smirked and mumbled something when I turned my back. People work hard to go on vacation and it’s unfortunate to get it stained by people who hate their jobs. Important information: We stayed there for 2 nights and on the beginning of our 2nd night we came to our hotel room door AJAR. No, we did not leave it open on our way out. The doors shut automatically on their own. It was terrifying to come back to the door left open. The security did come up and check the room for us. But there was something so off about the situation
