The junior suite was spacious and comfortable and the building has a pleasant art deco feel. The location was convenient for the finish line of the half-marathon, in which our son was running, which was the main reason for choosing it.

“Fairly underwhelming for the price”
The location is great for tourist spots such as the aquarium, the art institute, skydeck and 360.

“Beautiful building!! Fun location”
We stayed over Christmas and it was really cozy. The building is incredible and the games room is really fun. I love the aesthetic design choices in the rooms. Although not always the most practical, it was super pretty. You have to spend time in the lobby and eat at Cindys - both were incredible. And be sure to take advantage of your complimentary welcome beverage in the lobby! Staff did not tell us upon arrival, but I asked after seeing other reviews mention it, so be sure to ask (and tip your bartender). It was pet-friendly which was great for us, but it is a tricky place to have a dog if they are not used to the hustle and bustle (would not recommend if your dog is reactive).

“Excellent choice for accommodation in Chicago.”
Excellent location, the rooms were very comfortable and clean, and the staff very friendly. The room was very quiet too, despite the central location.
