If I were to discribe to you, our room, you would be pretty impressed. Contemporary paint. Headboards and Mirror match, nice size fridge, extremely comfortable beds with nice linens...But what you get for the very high price is just not worthy of another star. No breakfast of any kind, "a squatty potty kiddy toilet that's not suitable for people with bad knees, shampoo but no conditioner or lotion. And the fountain outside our door had three pairs of someone's sneakers drying in it. The staff was cordial, but not overly friendly. It was ok for the night, as we were passing through, but definately more expensive then it was worth, and also not as close to the fun part of State Street as we were led to believe. Even a brown bag breakfast with a muffin and a piece of fruit would have been better then nothing.
