Good place to stay but a couple things could be better to start, add another garbage in the room. The tiny half gallon bathroom garage didnt do a thing. 2nd, keep the rooftop bar open. Its awesome that its complimentary from a certain time to a certain time, but as a guest, I would like to come back to my hotel and have a place to relax and have a drink. Set a time for complimentary items and then open it up to a cash or charge to the room option. Some of these rooms are small and there's nothing to do but sit on the bed. Overall, great place, nice staff, I would recommend it.

Location of the property was great. Walking distance or short train/uber wherever we needed to go. Front desk was very friendly. Room was ready when we arrived (90 minutes prior to official check in time) Room was very clean and well appointed. Property was quiet even in the heart of the city. Elevators plentiful and super fast for an older building. Overall great experience.

Room was nicely sized so you can use the yoga mat provided. The room was not the usual long rectangle but more square. Shower was great and nicely designed. Room also has desk and chair and dressing table and chair. So 2 people can “work”. Note parking in downtown Chicago is expensive and this area is sketchy.

Would not recommend. My room smelled like mold the entire time I was there. The bathroom also felt very unsafe—the shower is level with the tile floor, so water gets all over the bathroom, making it extremely slippery. I ended up staying for only about 5 hours but was still charged for two nights. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

The hotel was in a great location and I loved the layout of the rooms. I did not like that we were charged a daily resort fee and the rooms were not cleaned daily and you had to request towels and water and trash to be removed every day.

Also, we ran out of body wash in the shower which is attached to the wall. I had to request new body wash, since the room is not cleaned and checked daily.

Maintenance staff was great. We had a problem with the air conditioner, not working and they came right when we called at around midnight and worked on it until it was fixed.

The location is great, but the amenities are shutdown always, how can you have a 2nd floor Bar and great roof top that is always close even on weekends, the service ? that you have to ask to get the service on the room and change the dirty towels, need to be automatically.
They want to sell you a time share in 2026 ???
The last thing was that they charge you for WiFi , coffee and water $25 obligatory, doesn’t matter if you drink or not the coffee and the water.

The staff were amazing. The hotel was clean. The amenities time restricted and we didn’t get to participate in any of them as it was more of a 3pm-7pm. During those times most people are out on Michigan Ave. I know the property is in renovation but as a “resort” I would have expected a bit more. They should have said they were renovating and limited amenities going on. Would I stay here again, probably. I know the staff doesn’t have control over what corporate does and they are the main reason I would go back. They were extremely nice and welcoming. Always smiling and just very friendly people.

The hotel was nice and the room was mostly comfortable. However, there were some oddities that were missing including no towel bars and no refrigerator. Additionally, a planned \"Tailgating Event\" on Saturday prior to a White Sox game was to start at 10:00 a.m and go to 2:00 or until the food ran out. Before 11:00 am there were only a dozen strips of bacon and some bread.

Although the rooms and hallways were clean and tidy. The rooms were pretty basic in general and the hotel had no amenities outside of the gym. It appeared that if there was a bar or restaurant (which I was told upon arrival there wasn’t) it actually seemed to be going thru’ a renovation. Which would have been helpful to know ahead of time.
Location was pretty good though for the downtown loop area. There is some construction happening across the street below the EL track and in the street. Which limited traffic access and additional noise. In general though this isn’t a place I’d want to stay at again. Just because of the lack of amenities.

Excellent location: a short walk from Millennium Park, where we enjoyed a fantastic free Monday night summer concert and literally just steps from the Chicago Theater. The staff we encountered at the hotel were also real stars, from friendly and unpretentious front desk folks to maintenance promptly addressing some minor issues we encountered ( a tepid shower temperature on the first day). Room was spotlessly clean. The free cocktails during the generous happy \"hour\" on the rooftop were excellent and a great start to the evening. We only stayed for 2 nights, so lack of daily housekeeping wasn't an issue for us. A bit of noise from the nearby L train but earplugs provided.

Disappointing experience overall. The staff was inconsistent and not helpful. We requested a rollaway bed and were first told that none were available, then another employee told us the hotel does not have rollaway beds at all. This caused unnecessary inconvenience.

We also requested fresh bedding and were told it would be provided, but no one came to change it. Despite being charged daily service fees, our room was never cleaned and the bedding was never changed during our three-night stay. In addition, we were charged $215 at checkout without a clear explanation. Parking was also expensive. Considering the high cost of the hotel, I did not see the value or service to justify the price.

The room was clean and spacious, the lights were confusing, but the luggage storage was nice with automatic lights. The beds were fine, not comfortable but we've had worse, the pillows were very dense or very empty, no mid-point. The wifi is on a network anyone can access which we didn't love. The TV looked like it can access some apps but doesn't actually work for that. TV service went down our last night and didn't come back up before we checked out. Overall, it was a very nice stay and we recognize they are working to build up their customer base. Last suggestion would be to offer room service at 3 nights, if we're paying a service fee per night it should be an option to elect for towel change over at least. They were very response for when we texted for something, and called a taxi for us on check-out.

When I tried showering there was only ice cold water. I called the front desk to ask if I’m doing something wrong they said they are trying to fix it. I booked this place for the convinces of getting ready for my graduation which backfired completely when we found out in the morning still no hot water. They said they would move us to a different room once people checked out at 11am. Around 12 we were moved to the tiniest room. ( I paid for a studio ). This room had only hot water set to one temperature. ( it was too hot but I just had to deal with it) next morning once again only ice cold water.

Los de HOTELES.COM son unos mentirosos, pues dicen en su publicidad que \"para no molestarte en tus vacaciones, el cuarto no será hecho diariamente...\", dando a entender como si fuera una \"OPCIÓN\", y no es así....la realidad es que esto NO ES UN HOTEL, sino que es un Tiempo Compartido y por ello no tienen autorización para tener un servicio de housekeeping diario. Tuvimos que solicitar diariamente que nos dieran toallas limpias y que al menos vinieran a retirar la basura, pues si no lo haces, te quedas con las mismas toallas y la basura durante toda tu estancia.

Pretty good experience overall. The only NEGATIVES were: 1) during check-in there is a HARD sell to participate in some sort of sales pitch while doing on-the-house activities in Chicago. The front desk person simply would not stop trying to sell this, even after we told her several times in no uncertain terms that we were not interested. Definitely a bad way to start our vacation - be prepared! It was so awkward seeing that receptionist after that experience, too, she seemed cold toward us. Weird! 2) cleaning services weirdly are not provided. They say the goal is to make guests \"feel like they're at home\". Um, I'm trying NOT to feel like I'm at home because I'm on vacation. 3) they add a $27 per person \"resort fee\". What, exactly, is this for? A resort has all sorts of activities and spaces and extras. 4) Noise. You know it's a bad sign when ear plugs are provided for free. Our room was right next to the L. It wasn't terrible, and the ear plugs do help, but be prepared. POSITIVES: 1) staff (except for the first check-in person we encountered) were exceedingly friendly and helpful; 2) they let us check-in an hour early - much appreciated!; 3) very good location, loads of walkable options; 4) as 2 adults and a teen, we really appreciated the studio set up. The toilet is separate from the shower, there are two sinks, and a separate vanity also. Great set up for our small family. NOTE for parking we used the public garage at Millenium park, cheaper and onlya short walk.
