L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"Antonio was kind and welcoming my entire stay. Honey was very nice on my check-in day and the rest of the staff was super nice. The room had a yoga mat and dumbbells, bath robes, and good amount of lights and outlets. Loved the design of the room like the bench dresser under the tv. I would stay again, my only complaint is the lobby was a little warm and the elevator took awhile with only two elevators and several floors. Parilla, the restaurant next door had good food and hotel guests get a 10% discount which was convenient the first night when I was exhausted and didn’t want to venture out for dinner."
