Pros:

The location was very centrale. Despite being a selk check-in the staff was very welcoming and helpful. My room was perfect size for 3days stay. The little water station at my floor helpful, genius idea !

Cons:

It feel a bit old, and furniture looking aged and used, but nothing really bad.

Excellent location and hotel that is not part of the BIG monopoly chain of hotels.
Pros:

Everyone there is very friendly. The location is EXCELLENT!! It seriously can't be beat. The rooms are EXCEPTIONALLY clean. The views are picturesque!!! I wish I had a true camera instead of a phone camera to take pictures from out the window of the river views!!! The hallways and rooms are keep very clean all throughout the day and night.!!! The fitness center is located in the Lower-Level and it was good.

Cons:

There is no swimming pool. Which I was aware of when I booked.

Pros:

The hotel is at the best location in Chicago! It is right across the Trump tower, the staffs are very nice and friendly, and the price is amazing if you compare it to any other hotels or Airbnb in Chicago.

Cons:

The only bad point will be poor sound proofing, you can hear any sounds outside the room. But with the location and price, I would not complain more, just wear ear plugs and it would be fine.
