8/10 Good
"Nice bed in our king room. Location was perfect for us for all we had planned and coming in the CTA from midway . Disappointed no bar just the one next door at the restaurant that wasn’t open late at all . We flew in very early in morning hoped to get into a room early even if we had to pay extra but the check in person was no help at all in regards to check in early or any of our questions . Our family came in the next morning same time and this time a different check in person actually offered them to check in early ! We had nowhere to go so we walked a lot of the city waiting to check in . I think we walked 13 miles . Our room ,once we got it ,was nice tho we didn’t get the city view just the view across to a building and parking . Location was definitely the highlight of this hotel ."
