    • ITS WAS SAFE
    • The staff were amazing! They were extremely helpful and accommodating.
    • Front desk was very friendly and gave us an upgrade and 2 free cocktails for our anniversary

    Cons -

    • Valet way too expensive $88 per night and they wanted $15 a day for wifi. The rooftop was closed so we didn't get to see that.
    • The room had a weird odor and was in need of some updating.
    • Late night bartender was rude and did not seem like he wanted to be there.

    It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient for visiting the Magnificent Mile.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 12-25-2023

    Love the location, and rooms are quite big. Staff was great too.

    1JohnPosted on: 10-3-2023

    Near Michigan Avenue.

    Beware. Room was grimy. They promised a credit to room service from the resort fee, which is ridiculous to begin with. Not only did they still charge me, but they charged me twice. So I had the privilege of paying $50 for a bagel

    10NathianPosted on: 8-1-2023

    Location was perfectly next to the river walk. Staff was very friendly and professional. Security was diligent. They are pet friendly.

    10KathleenPosted on: 7-26-2023

    Beautiful hotel on the Chicago River, close to the Red Line that we take to Wrigley Field. Clean room, great service, friendly employees.

    9JamesPosted on: 7-25-2023

    Location and professional staff interactions.

    The room has a mildew smell to it.

    10JayPosted on: 7-25-2023

    Location was walking distance from everything we wanted to see. The staff was knowledgeable about local dining options. The room was beautiful and included a wonderful view of the Chicago skyline. 10/10 in every way!!!

    Nothing negative stood out during our stay. 10/10

    10AmyPosted on: 7-13-2023

    Amazing staff. Great location. Beautiful rooms. Modern decor. Excellent bar. We really can't say enough about how amazing the staff at this hotel is!!

    8RachelPosted on: 7-2-2023

    The staff was very friendly. The location was perfect for the short amount of time we were there. John the bartender was GREAT! One of the best we¿ve ever had.

    The hotel was very nice. In my opinion, extremely overpriced. The rooms were outdated. However, the hotel was very clean and the location was great. We were expecting a higher and hotel for the price that we paid.

    9JudithPosted on: 6-13-2023

    Cleanliness, location and the bathroom was big and beautiful!

    Would have been nice to have complimentary breakfast and accessible parking.

    10Carrie SPosted on: 3-15-2023

    The staff, location and room quality/size all exceeded expectations. Best hotel staff in the City, friendly and helpful - made our stay great. Cannot beat the location for dining, shopping, easily getting to museums and other points of interest.

    We only wish we could have stayed longer. We'll be back!

    5Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 11-15-2022

    The location and bar in lobby.

    Our room wasn't clean. Yuck. Moved a sofa out of in front of the connection room so we could access our other room and there was a mans sock. Dirty carpet. Dust CAKED in the ceiling shower vent.

    Beautiful decorated lobby and omg the smell in there was amazing. The staff was friendly during check in. The beds were comfy too and the river view was awesome.

    I wish there was a hot tub at the pool.
