Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally reported as clean by multiple guests (rooms, linens, bed), but a few comments noted dusty rooms, dark/outdated carpet and worn/holed towels/robes which lowers the score slightly.
Service
8.8
Mixed but overall positive: several guests singled out staff (Chris, Alex, Armando, Fern) as excellent, while others reported understaffing, long check-in, inconsistent room service and poor valet — score reflects strong individual staff praise balanced against operational issues.
Location
10
Consistently praised across reviews for an excellent, central location close to restaurants and the Magnificent Mile; this is the hotel's strongest attribute.
Room Quality
8.7
Rooms are frequently described as spacious with comfortable beds and good views, but some guests reported accessibility issues (coffee machine in a cabinet), dust and air-conditioning problems (rooms running hot).
Amenities
7.9
Amenities are limited in key areas: no pool, no spa and no rooftop noted by multiple guests; gym equipment received positive mentions. Overall amenities are adequate but below expectations for a higher-tier property.
Value for Money
8
Several guests called the hotel expensive, cited extra unexplained charges and breakfast not included; while some felt the experience matched the price, value perceptions are mixed and slightly below the target.
Food and Beverage
9.4
Food and bar service received strong praise in multiple reviews (amazing food, clean bar, happy hour) but some guests noted limited dinner options (no full restaurant) and breakfast not always included — generally a strong area with some limitations.
Overall Experience
9.8
Most stays were described as wonderful or amazing, driven largely by location, cleanliness and standout staff; operational and amenity shortcomings lowered some experiences but overall sentiment is highly positive.

War gut aber zu teuer
Pros:

Die Lage ist super

Cons:

Es hat uns nicht gefallen, dass man in einem 5 Sterne Hotel als Hotelgast auf einen Tisch zum Frühstücken warten muss. Das Hotel hat auch kein Abendrestaurant sondern nur eine Bar mit einer kleinen Speisekarte. Der Zimmerservice hat an zwei Abenden Schokolade und Wasser gebracht aber am letzten Abend nicht. Passt nicht zu so einen Hotel . Entweder immer oder gar nicht.

Nice stay
Pros:

The location is great and easy to get to vial rail or uber.

Cons:

Our room was nice but dusty - nothing moved when staff dusted the room. Also, house keeping didn’t come in until late in the afternoon to make-up beds. We had to go ask for clean towels on day 2

Eficiente, boa localização, mas com falhas relevantes para um hotel 5 estrelas
Pros:

Excelente localização, hotel de padrão muito bom.

Cons:

Serviço de valet bem ruim. As toalhas e roupão do quarto estavam muito velhas e ate com furos. Tinha um único roupão (rasgado) e éramos 2 hospedes.
