Great for Soldier Field
Room was very clean and modern. Hot water in shower is kind of tricky. You can hear everything in the surrounding rooms and on our visit someone was having a party all night. We woke to kids playing in the halls. Check-in was slow even after I did the online pre-checkin. Good location to Soldier Field though…#vamosfire!!

I'd recommend this hotel - nice & contemporary.
The decor inside the hotel was nice and contemporary. The condition of the room was very well maintained as well. I really like there's no carpet at all inside the room. The restaurant inside the hotel was okay but not the best, but you do get a $15 off voucher from front desk. I didn't do valet parking as it cost US$72/day, so we parked it right next to the hotel building, which is much more reasonable.
