Comfortable hotel with great views
Pros:

Very spacious room with comfortable beds. Access to a lovely swimming pool. A great view from the room.
Right next to a tube station that goes right to the airport.

Cons:

There is a sign in the bathroom asking us to Save the Seahorses and only to get towels changed if needed and not to waste resources. However, in the breakfast room, everything was plastic and disposable with no recyling. If the hotel is serious about wasting resources, it should not be producing so much plastic waste from all the disposable stuff it provides at breakfast.

It was a nice stay and would stay again.
Cons:

Our room wasn't ready by check in time. We wanted to check in an hour early but understood that wouldn't be possible, but still had to wait a little after check in time.

This was our first trip to Chicago and I couldn’t have had a better location for my first trip. I could have stared out
Pros:

Amazing views of the lake and city, comfortable bed, large room, great seating area with large windows for the perfect view. Spacious bathroom.

Cons:

Finding the parking garage was not as bad as I anticipated, however the directions for getting from the hotel to the parking garage were a little confusing and could be simplified by having a printout of instructions for ease.
