• The staff were very friendly and accomodating, the location was great for what we came for.
• I would have loved continental breakfast, but overlooked that since everything else was great.

“My experience here was great. The location was wonderful for what I came to do, my kids were comfortable accessing the things we needed, the staff was friendly and I loved the valet parking option.”

• The location was perfect for our visit to Chicago with easy access to public transportation, restaurants and museums.
• The exterior appears quite dated and in need of renovation.

“Despite the rather shabby exterior of the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was immaculately clean in the public areas, as well as in our attractively appointed room. We had easy access to public transportation, the staff eagerly answered our questions and provided helpful information.”

• Location central to El and Bus Line.
• Front desk forgot to call for car after in-person request.

“This hotel is a good value for the location on Michigan Ave. Northern Michigan Ave is the main shopping destination, however with the bus line and El so close to the hotel, you can get anywhere downtown fairly quickly. It is within walking distance of big museums. The room was clean with pleasant decor. Bring your own pillow, though, these were flimsy without support. While I felt safe here, it is always best to be unguarded. A street person attempted to walk away with our bags after we unloaded them from the car.”

• Staff was efficient and friendly, good location.
• Lobby smelt like cigarette smoke.

“Hotel staff is friendly, rooms are clean, location is great if you want to visit attractions south of the Chicago river (museums), not a bad place for business traveler or families.”

• It was close to the concert venue we were attending and the room was clean.
• Too far from shopping and our business meetings.

“Staff was in the most part friendly and helpful. The room was clean and I had a great view of the waterfront. The public spaces were need of a little sprucing up.”

• I liked the location. It was close to the Shedd Aquarium, Planetarium, Field Museum, Grant Park and the beautiful lake.
• It was a small room and small bathroom.

“The people were very helpful at the hotel. They let us know exactly where everything was and how to get there and back. The location is great if you want something a little outside the crazy magnificent mile.”

• Just off lake and museum campus, great restaurant downstairs.
• Beds could have been better, we had backaches in the morning.

“My husband and our two boys enjoyed our stay at the hotel, it was comfortable for four in our double sized room, good views, good service, excellent restaurant, small but nice outdoor pool area, safe. Interesting area with shops and restaurants. We were within walking distance to the museum campus across the street in Grant Park.”

• The hotel room was clean and comfortable and the hotel was convenient for me.
• The front desk staff seemed a bit standoffish but otherwise there was no problem.

“The hotel was quite convenient for me. Earlier reviews had already warned me that the outside of the hotel was not all that remarkable and that was true. The exterior was pretty drab. The inside of the hotel was alright enough though it probably could have been brighter or more inviting. The room was clean and inviting. The woman who cleaned my room was always nice and inviting though the front desk staff could have been a bit more engaging. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and had no problems. I'd definitely stay again and I'd recommend it to anyone who was going to Chicago and was looking for a nice place to stay at a good price.”

• The hotel restaurant was very nice and had good food. Nice bar. Nice and friendly staff.
• Parking ramp was 'closed' for repair. Luckily we got a spot across the street and didn't have to pay for parking.

“When we first pulled up we noticed right away that the parking garage was closed. Luckily while we were parked in front to unload our luggage we saw some spots open up right in front of the building across the street so we parked there for nothing. Location was very convenient. Beds were very comfortable. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. Great food in the hotel restaurant and the bar stayed open till we left around 11:30. We would definitely stay there again!”

• I loved the cleanliness of the hotel & room & the friendly staff. This hotel is in an excellent location for sightseeing.
• There was no room service.

“Overall this hotel was very clean & the staff was friendly & helpful. I loved the location as I was there to sightsee & it was walking distance to museums, the planetarium, Shedds Aquarium, etc. The restaurant downstairs was great & the breakfast place around the corners (Yolk) was amazing for breakfast.”

• The front desk staff was pleasant.
• Too noisy.

“Initially I was satisfied with the staffs friendliness. The breakfast buffet was horrible and a waste of money! The biggest disappointment was the noise. I was on the 9th floor and was awaken very early in the morning by workers on the roof, hammering, talking and singing! I should have been made aware of this prior to check in and then been given an option. When I spoke to the front desk about my disappointment I was only offered a lame apology. They could have at least offered a complimentary breakfast, especially since the breakfast was not worth paying for!”

• The rooms we small but nicely furnished.
• The lobby was tacky and the restaurant was awful.

“The only good thing about the hotel is the location; It is an easy walk to the Field Museum and the Shed. It's along walk to get to the shopping area on Michigan Ave.”

• The parking ramp was under construction.

“Overall a great stay at the hotel. I was surprised to see the parking ramp out of order, since I stayed at this hotel last summer, and it was in the same condition.”
