Cleanliness
8.4
Mixed reports: several guests praised spotless rooms, but others noted dirty floors, crumbs on the coffee table, a strong food smell in the fridge and an unresolved lost-item/housekeeping issue.
Service
9.4
Consistently positive: friendly, helpful staff, easy/check-in and upgrades reported; only occasional lapses (housekeeping not locating a guest's lost item).
Location
9.7
Widely praised as excellent and central — ideal base for sightseeing, walking to attractions and events (many guests cited the location as a top positive).
Room Quality
8.8
Generally strong: comfortable beds, ideal room sizes, kitchens/washer-dryers in some units and great views; isolated negatives include a worn bed and some cleanliness/maintenance issues.
Amenities
8
Mixed: gym and in-room facilities (washer/dryer, kitchen) receive praise, but multiple guests reported the pool/hot tub were closed/out of service for long periods which impacted stays.
Value for Money
7.6
Several guests felt the hotel was pricey for what they received (one comment on high nightly cost without breakfast; another frustrated at paying premium without pool access).
Food and Beverage
8.5
Limited mentions: generally no major complaints about food service, though a guest noted lack of breakfast for a short stay and one noted inability to request creamer via QR-service list.
Overall Experience
10
Overall very positive: many guests would return and highlighted location, views and helpful staff; issues (pool closures, occasional cleanliness/housekeeping lapses, price) were significant for some but did not dominate most stays.

Excellent option for responsible college-aged students waiting to check into on-campus housing.
Pros:

Location was central to many desirable neighborhoods and attractions in Chicago, including Grant Park. Check-in was a breeze, and everything was in order in the room.

Pros:

広い部屋や、キッチン、冷蔵庫、電子レンジ、お風呂の設備はとても満足できました。

Cons:

ホテルで洗濯して、クローゼットにかけていたランニングウェアを忘れてしまい、問い合わせましたがハウスキーパーは何もなかったとの事でした。

私は、帰る時にホテルからタクシーに乗り空港へ行き、日本に帰るまでスーツケースを開けていませんでしたが、日本で荷物を確認してもランニングウェアがありませんでした。

シカゴマラソンで購入した特別に思い入れのある物で残念だった為、忘れ物が見つからない体験としてリポートさせて頂きました。

We love the staff and have stayed many times but it was REALLY disappointing with no pool area open
Pros:

Had to mark the facilities down as the main reason we stay here is the relaxing area with the pool and hot tub and these were closed and had been for months apparently but we were not informed . That would have made us re consider our stay .

Cons:

No pool or hot tub facilities open
