Hotel location was near Michigan Ave and many places. All walkable. Gym and pool were nice. Pool could be bigger but nice to have one. Wish they had free breakfast. Staff all very nice and fast check in. Lobby is smaller than other hotels but still offered a hang out spot with lots of tables. Overall, hotel is very good. Would stay again.

This was our first time in Chicaho. The staff was very helpful with suggestions. This hotel is very close by to many things making it easy to get around. The beds are a little uncomfortable and stiff. We also didn't get complimentary waters in our room like most hotels do. Check in and out were super easy though.

The biggest downside is the noise. Constantly woken up to the sirens and people shouting outside. You could also hear the rooms next to you quite easily.
The staff was very kind and the hotel was kept pretty tidy.
