Trip to Chicago

Food from the restaurant smelled great, but we didn't eat there. One of the best locations in the city. Close to everything worth seeing. Beautiful outdoor area around the pool. Access to Pedway was a time saver! Great experience overall.

Ly, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a positive stay

Overall a good experience. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom large. I enjoyed the outdoor pool. The only negative was being next to elevators and the noise from the hallway when people were getting back to their rooms. I would stay again but perhaps in a quieter room.
Lucia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The ice machine was out, very minor, and the night audit was not guest-friendly. The manager Josh allowed me to vent and he acknowledged the problem without any excuse. Thank you, Jose and I will return to your beautiful hotel.

Balcony Room

I had an amazing room and a wrap around balcony. The view was amazing and pet friendly.
Jasmine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay hotel unless you're using the pool!

Overall it's a nice hotel. The rooms though are setup such that the doors make so much noise when they open and shut and are so unwieldy that it's not always quiet in the room. We stayed for the outdoor pool, but if it wasn't for that amenity (the be fair, the pool really is a great spot and backdrop overlooking the city) there are better places nearby by far.

Everything was good. Would’ve loved it If I would’ve stayed in a corner room, but was not available, and the inside Jacuzzi was out of order.
