Hotel is on a prime location which was nice. House keeping was on point. Honestly is overpriced for what you get (not even free breakfast ) we had to drive around twice to figure out where the lobby was, went inside to find out where to park or check in did not find anybody to assist us. Air conditioning worked whenever it pleased, can barely see the numbers on the displayed monitor.. Only good thing was location.

Super unique hotel with gorgeous architecture. The bars and restaurants were fantastic and the view from Cindy's rooftop were amazing. The rooms are well-appointed and good sized. I'm very picky about my bed and it was comfy! Staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved the location and its walkable to Millenium Park, Lake Michigan, Riverwalk, Art Institute, train station and tons of restaurants and bars.

Great but miss the Cherry Circle Room

Love the location and ambiance of the room. Miss the Cherry Circle Room which was my favorite dining and drinks part of the hotel on my last visit. Cindy's is nice with a great view and great food, but not as intimate and stylish as the Cherry Circle.

Great place for a cocktail, not an overnight.

This is definitely a 3 star hotel. The rooms were very hot & muggy with hardly any light (the windows open to a very narrow alleyway). In-room thermostat does not work and was stuck at 71 degrees our entire visit. Accommodations were cramped, bed was hard, elevator took between 7-10 minutes to be called which made us late two days in a row. The common areas are very nice, but I will not stay here again.
