    The wifi didn’t work in my first room. I’ve told that to 2 girls in the reception but none of them could do anything about it. Finally, Jordan moved me to another room and that fixed it.

    It’s comfortable, clean and the rooftop is amazing. Jordan and Wallace really made the difference, they really wanted people to be happy for all the stay.

    Restaurant in hotel was not suitable to anyone with a dietary requirement. I am coeliac & cannot eat gluten and there was no gluten free bread or cereals I could only have drinks or fruit and omelette from everything on the entire menu. I asked for potatoes but they said these had to be fried (in a fryer along with wheat products) and they could not do them for me just boiled. Surely it would not be too hard to have GF bread frozen and defrosted when needed as lots of people must request this? Ended up buying breakfast things from nearby stores / deli's every morning.

    Room excellent and well serviced, staff very friendly and helpful especially with our luggage on last day. Good location, fairly quiet but easy to get to Michigan Ave etc.

    we were there for the Marathon which went past the hotel so popular hotel for it, the only fault is the hotel never put anything on for the runners on Marathon morning, for example like an early breakfast. we were able to use a microwave but coffee machine was out of use and water machine was empty. apart from that this hotel is great.

    friendly staff, great location, clean rooms, comfy beds and able to get a fridge in the room when requested.

    Biggest inconvenience for us was the lack of a traditional coffee urn in the lobby. One has always been there each time we visit, now replaced by a fancy computerized machine that was broken for the most part. It was a disaster for the staff, and even when working, took forever to make a cup, and mostly just spit and chortled. It was the weekend of the Chicago marathon and with a full hotel, the sign said “Coffee machine broken -sorry.” Why replace something that always worked with something that only frustrates everyone???? Room ac was extra loud too, but we just shut it off. Otherwise everything was fine. Staff is always friendly, but seemed sort staffed this visit. Hope it’s not a sign of things to come.

    Our 5th time staying. We’ve always liked the location.

    No where does it say the hotel requires a additional $150 deposit on top of the room payment and another $50 a day to park

    The location was great.

    How loud the traffic is, which is not their fault. I just put the AC unit on constant fan, and boom, instant white noise.

    Location is great. Despite what other reviews have said, our floor and room had new carpet and tile in the bathroom. Yes it is an older hotel, but it has been updated and kept up.

    The layout was weird. We had to take an elevator to the floor under ours, go down a bunch of Halls to get to another elevator to get to our room. Similar situation for getting to the rooftop pool and view

    The location was superb for walking thru the city and to navy pier etc. pizzeria uno (home of the original deep dish) was a short walk away!
