L7 Chicago by LOTTE

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

8/10 Good
"We loved the window seats, and Nespresso machine, but we were disappointed that a microwave wasn’t included in the room. We did not try the restaurant on-site. Parking was valet and $69. Room was spacious and beds were comfortable. Room was a little noisy, with ambulance and traffic sounds."
