Friendly staff, fine hotel

Surprisingly great experience, mostly because the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We didn't expect to get a very early check in but the friendly staff member at the desk made it happen. As other commenters note, Fanny and Xavier in the breakfast room are just wonderful -- and knowledgable. They gave us great advice on getting the train to O'Hare. Food options for breakfast are a cut above what you usually get in these kinds of hotels: hot options that change every day. We didn't particularly notice noise from the fire trucks across the street (but we got a room on the 17th floor). Only complaints: way too small closet for 2 people and very little drawer space. Room was nice a spacious so why be stingy with space to store clothes? We'll definitely return next time we need to be in Chicago!

The service we received from India at the front desk was exceptional! She checked my party of 5 in with ease and assured we got the accommodations we needed. All our questions were answered, and she was always pleasant to talk to. Other comments: our hotel room was right across the fire station so it can get a little noisy (we didn’t mind as we were on the 16th floor but just a heads up). We assumed the self-parking ramp would be on site but it is actually 2 blocks away, which was still very reasonable. By the way, this is the first hotel review I’ve ever left, and it’s all because of India’s delightful personality!!! Would totally stay here again next time I’m in Chicago.
