Cold Showers only
One day trip. Not a ton was needed for this stay but the shower is must. First week of December and the shower did not provide hot water. A $400/night stay should definitely include hot water.

Not recommended: zero hot water; couldn’t shower
No hot water. I couldn’t shower bc was cold water at night and in morning. Hotel was clean and beds comfortable. Lounge area has no comfortable chairs to have a cup of coffee. Too many hotel options in the city to have no comfort or hot water. Would not stay again or recommend to others.

The room was nice, but the floor in our room was weirdly sticky, like it had been poorly cleaned after a spill. We did not complain to staff, because we were pretty busy during our stay and just made the best of the room. But overall really nice hotel and I would likely stay again.

It was okay. The robot room service was definitely unique. When a double room is booked there should be two sets of everything available for that. There was no microwave in the room, which would have been convenient, especially since they have room service and a restaurant without a microwave downstairs. Please pay attention to the charges on your statement. Overall, they had a nice view. The staff was very responsive specifically housekeeping, and room service front desk needs a little work when it comes to customer service.. The food at the restaurant and Lounge area specifically the drinks were water down. The coffee was disgusting. The water was refurbished. I mean by refurbished if there are bottles or glass vases left from the water they will pour it back into the big container to recycle it for the next day.

Dont pay extra for skyline view!
Paid a significantly higher rate for the skyline view - our room was on the 6th floor, very little of an actual skyline visible. Aside from being overpriced the room was clean, unique and comfortable.

We had a city view room. The Einstein-themed furnishings were quite original and fun. Great location just a couple blocks off Michigan avenue but very quiet. Didn’t try the restaurant but it looked nice. Would stay again!

Property was nice but had issues at check-in. Was changes for the room when it was already paid for and had to wait 30 mins for it to be corrected. We got $25 gift card for the delay and issue.
Overall the room was nice but the bed sunk down in the middle and made my husband and I keep sinking into each other. Our backs hurt in the morning from sleeping on the slant.
Breakfast was good and overall the hotel and staff was nice.
