Great location, just OK room.
Pros:

Location is fantastic! If you want walkability in River North this is a great spot. The room itself was just ok. A simple but very comfortable king size bed, a small closet area to hang things, no drawer storage to speak of (if you like to unpack you have to get a bit creative), and a small refrigerator (a plus always IMO). We had a great view of downtown, on the 14th floor, which was nice! This hotel has a FABULOUS 4th floor rooftop bar and restaurant with amazing views, so I would stay here again if I favored a great location and a fun restaurant. It does however turn into a party at night/weekends with brunch, and we woke up every night to sounds of loud, drunk voices (3am-4am), so there's that. You pay for the location, but I wouldn't call it an elevated hotel stay experience overall.

Great location in River North but cleaner properties elsewhere
Pros:

Location in river north is great. The Centennial brew pub and restaurant is within walking distance and is exceptional.

Cons:

It smells musty everywhere. It doesn't matter what room you get. This is not our first day here there is a wet, musty smell to every room on the property and the people hanging out in and around the lobby are very suspicious.

Lovely lounge, food and drinks but expectation of 20% service + tips is too much.
Pros:

This relates specifically to the I/O rooftop lounge.
Lovely location and lounge, nice views although only 4th floor. Food nice and and cocktails good. Again we found the horrible tipping system where 20% service is automatically added on then expectation of a tip as well. I'm happy to tip 20-25% but not like this.
We followed the dress code but there is no point to a code if you don't enforce it. One group inappropriately dressed and allowed to carry out a prolonged photo shoot which isn't fair on other guests. Based on food, drinks, and quality of lounge would definitely go again but some tweaks needed.

Great location for exploring the City
Pros:

Great location to access all the attractions on foot. Rooms are a good size and tastefully decorated.

Cons:

Only negatives are that they don't offer room service. Also the main bar is so popular that most tables are reserved for outside guests and therefore residents can't normally get a table.
