The staff were amazing - extremely friendly and wanted to know if there was anything they could do to make our stay great. Rooms were clean and comfortable (good value for the money), and I really liked the eco-friendly water bottle stations! Location was perfect for the Loop and the Mile.
The 2 bedroom was absolutely PERFECT for our family of 5! Spacious, clean, quiet, and very comfortable.
Great staff at the front desk.
Bottled water on all floors was appreciated as well as the coffee on 2nd floor.
Great location.
Would definitely stay again!
Great area, guy at the front was funny, friendly, and helpful. Clean room, comfy bed, quite happy

Good location. Parking area should be clearly identified that its a few blocks away. Rooms are a decent size. Good to see free water available. Will visit again
Very unique room layouts. The parking deck for this property was about 4 blocks away but you will walk that far for anythign in Chicago so why not parking as well.
We absolutely loved the view from our river-view room. This hotel was in walking distance of everything that was included in our city pass. The parking was easy to figure out and was close to the hotel. The hotel and room were both very nice. We'll definitely be staying here again in the future.
