Great location and amenities, however the rooms are not good.
Pros:

Location, patio and 24/7 restaurant

Cons:

The rooms were extremely small for two people and no top sheet. You cannot go around the bed so we rotated the pillows orientation during the first night as suggested by the hotel, but housekeeping did not keep the same orientation. AC was also leaking all over the floor.

An amazing stay!
Pros:

The location of the hotel was walking distance to everything. The room was small, but that didn't bother me because my sister and I were out and about most of the day. The room was just right for showering and sleeping. The breakfast was amazing! Ebony was so helpful and made sure I was well taken care of during my stay. Jay was very nice and made sure I had delicious drinks while sitting at the bar.

Cons:

No complaints :)

The location and price were great. I’ve been to Chicago before and this hotel is right in downtown, great walking distance of food, attractions, and stores. The decor and style of the hotel is great!

Great location, a magic genie has a more space in his tiny lamp than we did in your rooms.
Pros:

The location was convenient and close to great shopping and restaurants. Love how close you are to the water.

Cons:

The no early check in, even for status Marriott members. The rooms are incredibly tiny and should be better advertised to the public. Had I had known how small the rooms are, I never would have booked there and paid the per night fee. Too small for two adults, bed was pushed against the wall so you have to climb over the other person. No place to put luggage, vanity tiny and no space for two people to get ready simultaneously. No privacy at well. The sheer curtain is not providing any sense of privacy.
