Location is great and staff are very friendly! Downsides are the size of rooms (they are upfront about it), lack of appropriate seating for breakfast, and only 2 elevators for a 16 story building!

The location was perfect for my needs. Close enough to the train and access to plenty of places to eat and explore. My room was a little small, which wasn’t a major issue because it was just me, but could be difficult with another person. Breakfast was consistent, but without variation, at least during my three mornings there. Outside of that, everything was great.

This is a great property in Chicago. It's connection to Self-Service parking is very convenient, but there is not a lot of space on the street to check in before parking. It's a quick walk to Michigan Ave. The rooms are small but have everything you need for sleeping and showering. There are several steps up from the front door to the front desk, so if you need ADA help, you may need to check with the property if you need help. The breakfast is great. I would definitely consider staying at this property in the future.
