    fantastic central base for exploring chicago's top landmarks

    I enjoyed a great stay in a spacious suite that offered easy access to the Magnificent Mile and stunning views from the rooftop pool, making my weekend city stroll so much more enjoyable. however, the in-house dining options could use more variety for those with dietary restrictions.

    rooftop pool
    ice creams
    dated hallways

    We spent three nights in a King Room, and my kids adored the rooftop pool that felt like our private oasis while I enjoyed those ice creams at the front desk. The relaxing rooftop pool and cozy sun terrace made our downtime super chill. The hotel could use a little updating in the hallways, but it didn't dampen our fun! 😊

    convenient location
    confusing layout
    noise disturbances

    The location was convenient for exploring the city.

    I can't believe the confusion with this hotel's layout. Finding my room felt like a maze, and the parking situation was infuriating. To make matters worse, the walls were paper-thin. I could hear everything in the hallway, making it impossible to get any decent rest.

    dated hallways
    parking confusion

    I loved the location of this hotel. It's super close to the red line train and plenty of great restaurants. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to rest after a long day of exploring the city. The indoor pool looked nice, though I didn’t have time to use it. Check-in went smoothly, thanks to the friendly young lady at the front desk. However, the parking situation confused me a bit. It could have been better organized. Also, the hallways felt dated, and there were some scuff marks on the walls that made the place feel less clean than it should. A mini fridge would have been nice in the room too, but I managed without one. Overall, a decent choice for a quick stay, but some updates would enhance the experience.

    great location
    family attractions
    limited breakfast options

    Great location near the river walk and fun spots like Ed Debevic's and The Cheesecake Factory. The staff were super friendly and accommodating when we needed help with our luggage. Plus, my brother and I enjoyed checking out nearby attractions effortlessly!

    In my wife's opinion, the breakfast options were very limited for kids. They could really boost the menu with more kid-friendly items.

    rooftop pool
    proximity to attractions

    Had a great time with friends! We loved the proximity to interactive video games and the classic Ed Debevic's diner, just a mile away. The rooftop pool was a fantastic place to relax. Just be mindful that parking is an additional fee, and there’s no fridge in the room unless requested.

    subpar food

    The spacious double room was comfortable and centrally located, making sightseeing easy. However, the air conditioning unit was quite noisy, disrupting sleep. The staff provided helpful service, ensuring a pleasant experience overall. While the hotel offered a selection of local cold cuts, the quality of the food could be improved.

    Just a good pick for an overnight stay in Chicago with good value for money. The 2 bedroom suite was amazing for our bachelorette party. Try to request rooms close together ahead of time, as communication can vary.
