    spacious room
    delicious seafood
    loud door noise
    small pool
    table repairs needed

    The room was spacious and had a stunning view, complemented by a fantastic shower and comfortable bed. However, the hotel doors slammed loudly, waking me up frequently. Although the pool was nice, it could have been larger, and the tables in the room were in need of some repairs. Dining options like grilled seafood were delicious, and the overall experience was enjoyable despite a few hiccups.

    outdoor pool
    dedicated lap lanes

    This hotel was just a good match for a weekend breather in Chicago with best value for money ratio. The outdoor pool with dedicated lap lanes was nice but chaotic, with lots of kids around. Avoid the pool during busy times if you want some peace.

    modern room
    slow check-in

    Gorgeous park views and a fab location! Loved the sparkling amenities and a comfy, modern room with plenty of space to unwind after a long day.

    Check-in felt like waiting for a slow bus in the rain—had me questioning my life choices!

    great location
    impressive sushi
    limited kids activities

    We had a fantastic stay with our kiddo! The location is perfect, just a short walk to Michigan Ave and Millennium Park. The kids loved the pool, and the restaurant had an impressive sushi selection, with a great atmosphere and friendly servers.

    My children wanted more activities for them in the hotel, particularly something fun to keep them entertained while we relaxed.

    stylish room
    unique architecture
    underwhelming housekeeping

    Stylish room layouts with modern touches, especially the King Room with City View providing a great sight of the skyline. Unique hotel architecture adds to the staying experience, making it visually striking.

    Had several maintenance hiccups, like the malfunctioning hairdryer and the broken sink stopper that cluttered the experience. Housekeeping left cleaning underwhelming, with hair in the bathroom and dirt stains on the walls, which is a letdown in a place with expectations of high standards. Dining options fell short too, as the late-night bar scene cut off food service unexpectedly while we were ordering, rather disappointing after a long day of travel.

    stunning architecture
    expansive windows

    Architecture is stunning with natural light flooding in from expansive windows. Loving the unique design and large balcony! Great amenities like the pool table and happy hour were perfect for relaxing after a day out.

    Felt really like home, no reason to complain.

    lovely view
    friendly staff
    nice pool
    wi-fi issues
    slow valet service
    ice machine

    The room had a lovely view and was quite beautiful, which made a great first impression. Easy entrance for Uber pick-up and drop-off was a plus. I enjoyed the delicious food from room service. However, the Wi-Fi was troublesome. It constantly disconnected, especially when trying to stream. On another note, the ice machine on our floor wasn’t working for several days. There were times when our valet didn’t bring the car as quickly as we’d hoped, although they were prompt once we mentioned the wait. Despite these hiccups, the pool areas were nice, both indoor and outdoor. The staff seemed friendly, which helped a lot during our five-night stay. Being so close to Millennium Park and the riverwalk made exploring easy and enjoyable. Overall, these amenities contributed to a pleasant visit, but slower service in a few instances could definitely be improved.
