Chicago Vacation Packages

Great place will stay again

This is the nicest hotel that I have ever stayed at. Everything was perfect!

Very convenient to the heart of Chicago! Nice hotel!

I was traveling with two 14 year olds on a business/vacation trip and we stayed here for five days. The location is great. I wanted a hotel that was convenient to the major attractions and downtown, and safe for the boys to walk around on their own. We were able to walk to Navy Pier, Millennium Park, the Loop, and the Hancock Building. It's a good 20-25 minute walk to Navy Pier, but you walk along Lakeshore Drive and it's very enjoyable. The property is very nice, although we didn't get the two beds that we selected through Orbitz. The hotel is on the red line, so not as convenient to the airport as a hotel on the blue line. Parking here is pricey. If you stay here, Hendrickx Belgian Belgian Bread Crafter is around the corner and an absolute must visit. Wildberry is on the other side and also very good. The Hancock Building is a two minute walk. If you love city views, the 360 experience is worth a visit, and is less crowded than the Willis Tower. We did the Tilt experience and it was not worth the money. If you go to Chicago and haven't gone on an architectural boat tour, this is an absolute MUST. Be sure to choose a tour affiliated with the Chicago Architectural Center because that's a nonprofit worth supporting AND the guides are amazing. It's a 20 minute walk from the hotel and you walk along MichiganAve., which rivals Fifth Avenue in New York for window shopping, retail, artwork, and restaurants. Love, love, love Chicago and would stay at this property again.

I felt it was all so confusing there. The parking is horrendous. You get an email stating 45 a night for self park but it’s 65-this is directly from the hotel. I ordered my room through Orbitz. Don’t get insurance through Orbitz as the hotel charges insurance as well. Expect a hold fee for incidentals of 70 a night. The room was clean. But minor scuffs. I took photos to make sure a charge didn’t come back to me. Bus is the way to go as the city is overpriced on uber. Orbitz does not match the hotel price be aware. It would seem like my issue is with Orbitz but it’s the hotel with all the surprise fees. If you’re looking for a clean hotel this is it. If you’re looking for friendly staff this isn’t it. If you offer someone something like water then you should offer everyone, I work in property management and if I offered someone something and not the next it would be a problem. Just saying. The pool is small. And right next to the gym and on the 10th floor. We were on the 18th and it wasn’t bad but just ok. Would I stay again probably not. I am big on friendly staff. Park other places as you can find way cheaper. We stayed for 3 nights. 195 total. Photos attached are the day we left. I don’t play when it comes to picking up behind myself.
