Too upscale for a vending machine

There was no vending machine to buy a drink which forced you to leave the hotel or pay high prices for it. For the price you should have internet free.
Cheryl, 1-night trip
Verified Hotels.com guest review

6/10 Good

Bad food & no sound proofing

Nice hotel, decent location, but beware the view of theTrump sign across the river & prepare to gag. The room was clean and beds comfortable. Neither the heat control or toilet flush were working properly. We were forced to pay for a "destination package" of $25/day for hotel food -- will never stay here again because of this. The menus of the 4 or 5 eateries was unappealing. We settled on one since we were forced to partially pay for it anyway. The food was bland at best; we requested extra salt and pepper just to give it some flavor. Room service breakfast on day 2 -- again forced to partially pay for it. They forget to cook spinach in the omlet, so dumped a handful of uncooked spinach in the tray and threw the omlet on top. The third omlet ingredient wasn't included at all. I'm in downtown Chicago; I can walk less than block and get good food. Maybe this is why they force you to pay for hotel food; otherwise no one will eat it. We were on the 12th floor, with no sound proofing to the outside street, so listened to repeated sirens and bucket boys drumming into the night. As I said, will not stay here again.

It was an okay experience. We ordered room service and the grilled cheese was not tasty at all. The $100 hold a night I’m not a huge fan of and the room needs updating for the price we paid. Also the mini fridge in the room wasn’t plugged in which took some time to figure out. I give my stay a 6/10
