This is a wonderful hotel for anyone who wants to be located in the heart of downtown. The hotel is located right off the riverwalk and is a minute walk to Michigan Avenue. We came for summer fireworks and were able to make the quick walk from the hotel. We will definitely stay here again! The hotel is clean and well kept. On each floor, there are water refreshment stations to fill water bottles.

This was unique in that it was a hotel offering for a family of five, or six. The two bathrooms were something that is hard to find even in an Airbnb. I would recommend this to anyone going to Chicago.

Our stay was great! It was in a great location. Valet was much easier to use than finding public parking. Easy check-in and our room was huge. We had two bathrooms to access which worked out with having kids. We had a little kitchenette, with a fridge, dishes and silverware which helped when we brought take-out pizza back to the room. We also liked the convenience of the water stations. Great stay and I would definitely go back and request that same room. Thank you!
