A lovely stay!
Pros:

Friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms with a wonderful view, daily cleaning was great and I was very happy to have a bath in the ensuite! The facilities provided for Chicago marathon were also amazing and much appreciated.

Cons:

An addable option to include a toaster or microwave in the room, or one available to use downstairs, would be great for the marathon weekend
