The hotel is very nice and quiet. It is very secure. The only downside is how difficult it is to actually get to the hotel. Once you get the hang of it, it does become much easier. There are multiple elevators involved and getting down to the parking garage is a bit of a hassle as well. The breakfast was a little disappointing. Just cold cereals and such. The bed was extremely comfortable, especially the pillows. Great toiletry products. The view was absolutely amazing. The only issue really was getting into the hotel for the very first time.

Excellent Hotel, Great Stay
We had a great stay. Our view was fantastic and the suite was huge and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Staying at this hotel is complicated slightly by the number of elevator transfers and key card swipes you need to make to access the hotel floor or reach the garage, but it's all worth it. The location is great, the rooms are secure, parking was plentiful and we would stay there again.

A couple of things to comment on are: The bathroom tubs were very high and the tub seemed slippery when getting into the tub. Having to take the elevator to one floor and having to get off to take another one up another floor was a bit getting used to but afterwards it didn’t seem to be a problem.

Hard to locate. Unaware the hotel was actually located on the 40th floor. The hotel room was ok, the continental breakfast was k-pod coffee, which was in the room.

A hidden gem
This was definitely a different kind of Chicago hotel experience. It’s off the beaten path and to be honest, kind of hard to find. That said, it was clean, quiet, and extremely close to public transit.

Property was very clean. It was in a nice area. The property itself was amazing. The only thing for me was that their club is closed on weekends so no pool access if you are staying the weekend.

For such an expensive hotel, I would expect a better HVAC. Ours ran cold or hot, no fan only option and no ceiling fan. The health club was great. Breakfast was same old. Staff members were all suberb. .
