Beautiful property. That's well kept. Excellent staff. The room was very large, and the bathroom was huge. I would absolutely stay there again. The beds were comfortable, I really don't have any complaints. Being a few blocks off Michigan Avenue wasn't too bad. Also, pretty quiet inside considering where the hotel is.

Good stay. My room had a comfortable bed, and the staff overall were friendly and helpful. A shout out to Eric at the front desk. Mini fridge, microwave, and a safe in the room. Relatively close to a couple of CTA stations and pretty central.
