Just So-So

Let me start by saying this is a stunning hotel. All of the staff we encountered were super friendly. We had a seamless check in. We arrived to our room and immediately noticed that the room needed some work. The paint on the inside of the bathroom door was peeling off. The wallpaper in the bathroom was separating from the wall in several places. There were mold spots on the ceiling in the bathroom as well. The carpet looked filthy and there were goopy streaks on a piece of the wall art. The washcloth I grabbed to use had a giant brown stain on it. Overall, a pleasant experience but feel as though the room wasn’t taken care of and cleaned properly. For an upscale hotel in the heart of Chicago, I expected a little more.

Birthday Surprise was Egg-cellent!

Our hotel stay was magnificent. Beauty everywhere I looked. Our room was so cosy and comfortable. All our meals were scrumptious! Staff was very helpful with everything. The hotel and room were spotless. One thing to suggest: softer toilet tissue
