We love staying at emc2 when we have an appointment at Northwestern Hospital. It is just around the corner and close to hospital parking, which is cheaper than valet parking. The restaurant on site, The Albert, is great, and we love getting dessert for the night here. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We love the design of the rooms. They are functional and nicely appointed.

When we walked into the building, I was a little surprised by the size, a little smaller than expected including the rooms. However, the place was gorgeous and the surprise of the shower placed where it is. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Love the forward thinking with the elevator system and the robots. Finally, my sincere gratitude to accommodating our every needed - especially upon check-in. I appreciate your hospitality and we will use you again.
