My husband and I had such a wonderful time celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary. We brought our young daughters along and were greeted with teddy bears for them when we checked in. The valet, Jesus, made our time there so enjoyable and went out of his way to help us. We will definitely be coming back!

I felt that what I had paid for a night stay was far too much for the experience I was given. There were too many inconveniences during our stay made me feel this way. After paying EXTRA for valet parking, our baggage took 1 1/2 - 2 hour(s) to get to our room. I had to call the front desk to ask for my bags to be brought up. I asked if we could also get ice and water from room service when asking for my bags which took 1 hour after getting our bags. We only received the water and no ice. Room service brought ice upstairs about 1 hour later. And the pool was mediocre at best. Other than those things, we enjoined our stay. Room service was great when ordering from their menu(s). Food was 4.1/5 and was great late at night. Bed was very comfortable and shower was great. The tub’s a little small, but still pretty nice. Everything was clean too. Overall, it didn’t seem like a true 5-star hotel to me. This place was more like the Hilton Chicago.
