Stay somewhere else.
Hotel looks like it’s not very well maintained. Carpet was very dirty and blind was broken in our room. Some staff were very friendly other not so much! House keeping is only every second day which is odd. However, they never turned up on day 4 of our stay so we only got our room serviced once in a 6 night stay!?! Not good enough.

An okay stay
Centrally located and surrounded by shopping and dining options. However, they fell short in service; it took two days to fix the HVAC, and there was no housekeeping every day.

Location is great. Property ok. Not maintained the best. There were issues in the pool area and in our room. Not horrible, but inconvenient. Pool was out of towels on two of our four visits. Not monitored closely. They did bring up towels when called. There are so many hotels in Chicago. This one is ok but next time we’ll try another.

Aloft stay disappointing.
We paid ahead of time for valet parking. But the valet person was so overwhelmed we stood in a dark alley for 20 minutes and never saw him and there were at least 10 cars waiting to be parked. Lots of scary characters walking thru alley so finally pulled into very close self park. Hotel would not refund the parking pre-pay so now we are fighting with Hotels.com. Roller shades in room were broken with only few feet separating our room (and bed) from the next building. Hotel advertised free water. Huh - we had to pay $4.00 per bottle.
