(1,444 reviews) We had a really good stay. The hotel is in a great location. We got a lakeview room, and it was right in front of the lake by Navy Pier. The view was beautiful. We had a king-size bed, and it was very comfortable. Check-in and check-out were very quick and easy. That made everything smooth from start to finish. The bathroom was clean and nice. The food and drinks were also very good. The only downside was that our room was close to the elevator, so it was a little noisy. You could hear it going up and down. There were also people smoking weed, and the smell would come in sometimes, which we did not like. But overall, it was a good stay. It was very close to Navy Pier, which was perfect since most of our plans were there.
