Pool is great for kids. Location is great. Room service is very fast with all the normal options. Having the bar in the lobby was a nice touch. Also able to check in at noon which was awesome, but probably won’t always be like that
Ok this might be dumb but the milk and OJ in the mornings suck. It’s not fresh, the juice is a tiny little minutemaid bottle and the milk comes in those tiny cardboard boxes we had at school. It’s not even about the money, but paying $9 each for a 25 cent milk carton felt like they were nickel and diming me

Location great, room very good.
Toilet too low and single sink inconvenient. Valet way too expensive even for Chicago at $88 per night and they wanted $15 a day for wifi.

The hotel is very lovel and the location is fabulous. We had a view of the river and it was amazing! We had some issues the first night, but the staff immediately corrected it and gave us breakfast vouchers as an apology. Will definitely stay here again.

A very nice hotel with a good vibe. Excellent location on the river and close to so many things. The bed was great and room was tidy and clean.
The only downer was the aircon in the room didn’t function very well. I wanted the room cooler but it took forever to cool to my comfort level. This however was not a huge issue as everything else ticked the boxes.

Bed mattresses, sheets, comforters, towels are excellent. A few Pillows need upgraded by adding high quality feather ones.
Bathroom door needed WD40 to stop annoying squeaking. Upon request it was fixed. Need a grab bar to go in or out of the tub. Hair conditioner bottle ran out of liquid. They should have clear bottles to see if enough liquid is in there. Quality of food in Staytiin restaurant is poor.
