Terrible experience
Cons:

My vehicle was stolen from their parking garage; most of the staff was unhelpful except one of the hotels security managers once I could get in contact with him.

我們是來看展的,所以展期中房價一定是比較貴的,沒辦法,這飯店位置良好,治安很好,很安全!
Pros:

免費的早餐,還有現點現做的服務,雖然是要站著等,但是看在免費的份上,還能夠多說什麼呢?適合一般出差,或是家庭出遊,因為全部房型都是有帶一個小客廳,所以,不至於太小。房間還有免費的零食,飲料喝到飽。不過是要有訂Premium房型的,應該是有多幾塊錢!

Cons:

早餐雖是免費的,但是品項一般,勉強符合口味,談不上美食,就是一般般。

Disappointed
Pros:

Breakfast had a nice e selection however the eggs were very wet, I tried them twice and could not eat them. Including gluten free muffin or bread would be great.i have a gluten allergy and no bread options

Cons:

The bar menu had no gluten free options at all. Salad is not a gluten free option it gets old having to choose a salad for every meal.
THE ELEVATORS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY!! LONG WAIT FOR THE ELEVATOR. Using the stairs was not an option for a handicap person. My husband would not be able to climb the stairs.

Pros:

Everyone was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire trip. We were able to walk, Uber or catch a bus to take us to any attraction. The bell staff was so attentive, we had a lot of luggage that needed stored before and after our stay and the bell staff were more than happy to help us with that, which really made our trip run so much smoother. I especially want to thank Phillip and Darnel! The breakfast was generous and delicious! The evening reception enjoyable and both on site restaurants were great. We loved having tea and lunch at the British restaurant on site. Very special memories all around!
And don't miss the Riverwalk just a block from this hotel which takes you from the Navy Pier all the way through the city. So much happening!

Cons:

There's always logistics and specifics to try to understand, but that's part of the adventure. Every one was helpful in answering questions. The city is expensive. But we knew that going in.
