Location, gym, views! Staff was fantastic and friendly!
No! Everything was perfect!
It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient for visiting the Magnificent Mile.
Love the location, and rooms are quite big. Staff was great too.
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 $50 for a bagel
Location was perfectly next to the river walk. Staff was very friendly and professional. Security was diligent. They are pet friendly.
Beautiful hotel on the Chicago River, close to the Red Line that we take to Wrigley Field. Clean room, great service, friendly employees.
Location and professional staff interactions.
The room has a mildew smell to it.
Location was walking distance from everything we wanted to see. The staff was knowledgeable about local dining options. The room was beautiful and included a wonderful view of the Chicago skyline. 10/10 in every way!!!
Nothing negative stood out during our stay. 10/10
Amazing staff. Great location. Beautiful rooms. Modern decor. Excellent bar. We really can't say enough about how amazing the staff at this hotel is!!
The staff was very friendly. The location was perfect for the short amount of time we were there. John the bartender was GREAT! One of the best we¿ve ever had.
The hotel was very nice. In my opinion, extremely overpriced. The rooms were outdated. However, the hotel was very clean and the location was great. We were expecting a higher and hotel for the price that we paid.
Cleanliness, location and the bathroom was big and beautiful!
Would have been nice to have complimentary breakfast and accessible parking.
The staff, location and room quality/size all exceeded expectations. Best hotel staff in the City, friendly and helpful - made our stay great. Cannot beat the location for dining, shopping, easily getting to museums and other points of interest.
We only wish we could have stayed longer. We'll be back!
The location and bar in lobby.
Our room wasn't clean. Yuck. Moved a sofa out of in front of the connection room so we could access our other room and there was a mans sock. Dirty carpet. Dust CAKED in the ceiling shower vent.
Clean and quiet
Parking fees 75$
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.
Perfect Chicago location! Amazing cocktails and food in lobby. Comfy room with great view!
The bathroom
Contacting anyone at the front desk or otherwise was extremely difficult, wallpaper was peeling in room, loud neighbors.
