Nice, clean, and close
Pros:

It was close to U Chicago and clean and very swanky

Cons:

The cost of parking is a bit, and the room was about 100 more than I would have preferred to spend on a short stay while touring campus.

Taking advantage of their position, lacks basic hotel necessities
Pros:

The location was the only thing this hotel has going for it, and the staff is pleasant enough

Cons:

Hotel lax, basic amenities like refrigerators in your room vending machines on any floors if you want something to drink, you have to ask the front desk for a bottle of water completely unacceptable for a hotel in this age

It was all great

Tolerable for a one day stay.
Pros:

Two factions contribute to my assessment of the comfort of the beds and the room: (1) the bed linen was very "hot" to sleep on and (2) there was too much light from the shaded window for comfortable and productive sleep.

Cons:

The bed linen and the light from the window at night.

I really did jot enjoy the stay because of the check problems.
Pros:

The location is good if you need to visit the university.

Cons:

The checkin was really bad. They took 6 hours to give us a room. The least they could do was to let us know if there was a problem and a tentative time. I finally got the room at 11.30pm. The Manager promised to waive my first day stay there. But when I checked out. That manager was not there and he had not left a note. So they charged me full. I am planning to call them and check. No honest communication and not trust worthy.

Very Nice but a rocky start
Pros:

Room and Staff great. Can't beat the location for the University of Chicago.

Cons:

Reception was understaffed around 2100 at check-in. They did thier best but you cannot service the traffic with one person at this time. Folks in line were frowning. Coffee was complimentary in the lobby -- be forewarned as there was nothing in the room.

I accomplished what I sent out to do and the location is perfect for the Obama Center.
Pros:

My main purpose for the trip was to fulfill a bucket list wish for my husband to see the Obama presidential center…. This hotel is in a perfect position for that. I also enjoyed the view from the window of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan..

Cons:

Overpriced for such a bland room. No micro no fridge- just a bed tv and chair. When I got there, I was told a different prize than the price with Booking.com. Also, the manager that was on duty was very carefree with assisting me. He wasn’t nice. He wasn’t smiling. It was not a very inviting warm social scene. He made me feel less than when I asked if I could make a split payment because the price wasn’t the amount I was told through Booking.com.- also the restaurant downstairs is very expensive… I’m from Texas and we are very friendly people and we are very budget friendly people so obviously I felt out of place because this was way above my pay scale. …. And that’s on me.
