Absolutely beautiful . Welcoming staff amazing food Andy’s jazz bar around the corner was an added bonus. I would recommend this hotel and surrounding area to everyone
Courteous and attentive staff, clean and comfortable room. Shiny bathroom with fluffy towels. We were provided with everything we asked for, including storage for our luggage after checkout while we shopped.
Room was great, staff was wonderful and valet was easy. Got the Spa Junior Suite for anniversary and we really enjoyed the tub! No complaints other than the cleaning staff came into our room while we were gone and had a DND sign on our door. Just found it odd but wasn’t a big deal in the end!
I stay here every time i come to Chicago. The spa tub is so nice. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like you are at home. Cant say enough about the hotel.
