    Needs microwave..needs pools

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    There was also a $30 (with tax) per day “destination” charge (added to the final bill for our prepaid reservation) for what the front desk staff said was for providing water and coffee in the lobby in the mornings and internet? There is no on site parking, and there are no recreational, pool, or extra facilities at the hotel other than an adjacent restaurant. Self parking is available near by and is $66 per day. It’s a bit noisy, but the location right downtown in the middle of things is great and the room price is reasonable.

    We stayed for one night for my birthday to do some sight seeing. The room was nice, the shower was AMAZING, and it was close to everything downtown.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The hotel was in a great location in Downtown Chicago. Made it easy to walk to any popular attraction during my stay including great restaurants. The room was clean and got the job done. Staff was very helpful for checking in my luggage the day of and answering any questions I had during my stay.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We really liked the decor of the room, it was very chic and stylish. Robes were so comfortable, water pressure was great, and we loved the amenities - all the soaps and shampoos smelled amazing. Nespresso machine in the room was great, but it was not reset back to the factory setting, so espresso button was running longer than it should. Staff were very accommodating, they let us check in early, and helped with storing luggage as well. The restaurant attached to the hotel was excellent - their food was great, and cocktail menu was really good too. The location was really convenient, and we really enjoyed staying here - definitely coming back again!

    Old , worn down but okay . Appearance poor , staff were nice though . Needs a facelift desperately!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This is now my go to hotel to stay at in Chicago. It’s walking distance from so many things. Customer service was great, complimentary water, Mexican restaurant next door which was very good, Trader Joe’s directly across the street and many shopping places less than 5mins of walking .room was clean and any requests were honored on a timely manner! I will be back!!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026
