Perfecta Estancia y en pleno centro
Pros:

La llegada y todo
Cuando llegamos nuestra primera atencion con un joven muy pero muy amable.
Esta al centro de todo, solo llegar y caminar porque todo estaba muy cerca.
El Hotel es maravilloso muy lindo en el piso un caballero siempre nos preguntaba si necesitábamos algo y hablaba español.
Las habitaciones muy cómodas y las camas fueron lo mejor el descanso perfecto a pesar de estar en el centro no había ruido al dormir.

Cons:

Nada todo fue perfecto

Pros:

Cons:

scalding hot water in the shower which they struggled to fix... tried to sell us a timeshare...note this is a resort not a hotel so there is no housekeeping. the interiors are very dated.

Pros:

The room layout was very comfortable. I loved the vanity / bathroom and the privacy of the bedroom. Very comfortable and luxurious for the price! I also loved the free yoga on the roof!

Perfect place for couples.
Pros:

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The resort is in the heart of downtown Chicago, making it the perfect location to explore the city. Our room was modern, comfortable, and offered beautiful views from the 20th floor.
One of our favorite perks was the complimentary food and drinks served daily on the 26th-floor lounge. Although the resort is currently undergoing renovations and has limited on-site amenities, its central location more than makes up for it. We were within walking distance of Millennium Park, the Flyover Chicago experience, Navy Pier, and many excellent restaurants and attractions.
Our only downside was the $79 daily parking fee. Looking back, we would have skipped the rental car and simply taken an Uber from the airport.
If you enjoy live jazz, don't miss Winter's Jazz Club. We had an incredible evening listening to Better Together. We've traveled extensively around the world and appreciate great jazz, and this group was among the best we've heard.
Chicago also exceeded our expectations. On our first day, we took the subway to a Cubs vs. White Sox game and experienced firsthand the city's passion for baseball. While Chicago often gets attention for crime, our visit gave us a very different impression. We felt comfortable exploring the city, and everywhere we ate, the food was outstanding. We can't wait to return!

The location sells this place
Pros:

Great location! Easy to access everything, a few minutes walk to the riverside and Millenium Park

Cons:

The room was smaller than I thought it would be. Expensive valet and there is minimal space to pull up outside the hotel

Ok for short stay, dated and over priced
Pros:

Slow check in service which was painful after 14 hours travelling.
The place is in a good location but it’s very dated and basic and bad views of the city.
Limited amenities in the room and the rooms are not serviced so you have to ask if you need anything.
Staff are friendly and nice.
It was ok for our short stay but over priced for what you get.

Misleading bait an switch.
Pros:

The timeshare certificates or vouchers they offer are not worth the time . Its for the cheapest room and can't be used on the weekends. Its also has to be used at one time . Your also required to pay two sets of fees. Beware. Dont waste your time. They dont help with parking. I had to pay 50 bucks. Not even a discount

Staff were friendly and helpful but the location next to the train was not good.
Pros:

Roof top deck

Cons:

Loud noises (people) in the hallway through the night plus the elevated train tracks too close to the building made for a difficult night’s sleep.

Great staff but rooms and top floor bar badly need updating.
Pros:

Great location and the staff was exceptional!

Cons:

The property is dated and lacked upkeep. The shower was very nice but only had a scalding setting. Lots of chips in the flooring, paint and the front desk was weirdly set up. Lots of little attempted amenities but ultimately a letdown. For example, you got a free coffee but only for one morning per stay with no substitutes - including hot tea, free breakfast buffet but it was hotel eggs, bacon, sausage and toast. Nothing more and it sat atop a bar with paper plates. Free water but only two then you had to refill the bottles provided. The staff was very friendly and helpful but the hotel just falls short of expectations.
