Great location- great room for a 3 night stay. It’s the small things that make a difference- good lighting for makeup, a lot of mirrors (full body and makeup magnify mirror), Nespresso pods, and most importantly filtered water on every floor! I would stay here again next time we visit Chicago.

To be honest, we only used the hotel facilities for the basics; the staff was always attentive, and the hotel was in excellent condition. However, the standout feature is its prime location—right in the heart of downtown Chicago—with great connections to all the major tourist attractions to walking distance.
