My stay at the hotel was quite good overall. The rooms were excellent and clean, with a modern look that suited my taste. Although there was a minor issue with mold over the window and water pooling on the windowsill, the management compensated with a discretionary discount which I appreciated. The service was a bit uneven, but the staff was very helpful and prompt in addressing any concerns I had. The location was fantastic, right near a dog park and within walking distance of major attractions like Navy Pier and the Riverwalk. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the smoothie and salmon, but there were some limitations in the food supply. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though cozy and comfortable, faced some challenges with other guests smoking pot on their balcony, affecting our ability to fully enjoy our own balcony. The city view was nice although not very expansive. The service was fantastic, with attentive staff helping out in various ways, but some noisy and drunk guests were overserved at the pool. The location was convenient, near the park and lake, with great transportation options and easy access to dining spots. The dining experience was delicious but pricey, and facilities were generally good.

The hotel is in a superb downtown location near the Chicago River, offering a calm ambiance without the hustle of traffic. The rooms are comfortable with some wear and tear, but they provide a quiet atmosphere for a budget-friendly cost. The service is friendly and welcoming, although some information gaps exist on amenities and parking options. The dining experience is mixed, with delicious offerings but limited selections. The property boasts top-notch facilities, including an outstanding pool and impressive sundeck downtown.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered a spacious view of Millennium Park, but there was some confusion at check-in regarding the room type. The location was good for exploring Chicago as a tourist but not ideal for walking to all places. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of options, but there were some service issues with staff disappearing when needed. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel room was clean, and the bed was super comfortable, although there was noticeable wear and tear, and not enough space for a rollaway bed when we had an extra guest. The service was incredibly accommodating and friendly, especially Vincent who always greeted us with a smile. The location was perfect for relaxing with a drink and convenient to key downtown spots. The dining, particularly in the lounge with great views, was excellent. Overall, a great choice if you want a central location with friendly service and comfortable rooms.

The hotel offers amazing views from the outside and provides very comfortable rooms, although some rooms should not have been released in their condition. The service staff was extremely polite and knowledgeable about the city's restaurants, despite a few guests being overserved at the pool. The location is downtown and calm, walking distance from many tourist attractions, boasting a fantastic sundeck, but with some noise disturbance from the nearby fire station. The dining options were greatly improved with the new idea at the restaurant. Overall, a mixed experience with great potential for improvement.
