Ottima posizione ma servizi da migliorare
Pros:

Struttura in una zona esclusiva di Chicago, a due passi dalla Magnificent Mile e dalla Hancock Tower, oltre che alla spiaggia Oak Street. Molto vicina a diverse fermate del bus, mentre per la metro bisogna camminare una quindicina di minuti. La camera era ampia, dotata di cucina e diversi armadi. Il letto era comodo.

Cons:

Rispetto alla camera il bagno era un po' piccolo e il divano letto molto scomodo, oltre al fatto che non era stato fatto in anticipo ma abbiamo dovuto aprirlo e farlo noi. La pulizia della camera viene effettuata solo dopo il quinto giorno ma si può richiedere il cambio degli asciugamani in reception. La struttura offre wi-fi gratuito ma per quasi due giorni non c'è stata connessione, senza alcuna spiegazione da parte della struttura. La colazione era buona ma lo spazio era troppo piccolo rispetto al numero di ospiti della struttura... ogni mattina bisognava fare la fila di 15-20 minuti prima di riuscire a prendere il cibo.

I think it was a little pricey for my lifestyle But overall is a nice place if you enjoy that type
Cons:

I did not like the parking I did not like that I had to pay $70 Per night for ballet parking I did not like that I did not have a view of the lake I did not like that they did not clean my room the entire time I was there and that I had to request additional tiles

Pros:

The hot breakfast was great. One morning the coffee was not ready when breakfast started. Another morning they ran out of hot water quite early....those are tough things to guage. The location was wonderful for catching city transit and attending the Air and Water Show. Downtown Chicago is beautiful and interesting.

Pros:

Location,excellent service from everyone.

Cons:

When I looked out my windows, of a room i booked months ago, and being our first time in Chicago, I was a little disappointed when we saw a dump heap. It was my Husband's Birthday, also, so I really wanted a special night. The staff apologized for the construction that would take place around 8 am, I got that, but was hoping for a special nite.

Look for better options
Pros:

Great location. Spacious rooms. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The hotel is undergoing construction, which we were not informed about at the time of booking. The noise was at time so loud, it was unbearable.

The breakfast situation is ridiculous: under capacity and under staffed meant long lines (20’) to grab something to eat and dirty tables, if any available.

Nice place to explore downtown Chicago from
Pros:

Great location, spacious room, nice pool, decent breakfast

Cons:

Breakfast with 2 hours too short - leads to crazy rush and wait times. Should be at least 3 hours long. Also, Wi-Fi was out for 2 days while we were there
