We enjoy staying at this property when we visit Chicago, as it really is right in the heart of the city. Many sights and great restaurants are within walking distance or a mere short Uber ride away. Very pleasant front desk staff, and the coffee shop has a great brew!

Bugs in the room, very dirty bathroom. Door handle broken. Paper thin walls people next to us loud all night like 3-4 am. Hair in the sink. Rooftop bar service poor very rude staff. Was asked to move after spending 40 dollars on a lemonade no booze and 1 drink. Said the spot was reserved no signs like the other tables. We over heard the bouncer laughing when we moved they let some friends take our spot. Carpet in room stained. No I did not complain at the property was only there for 3 nights. Wasn’t worth saying anything. There were people picketing out front and they block our way in last night and were very rude.
