The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were super clean and nice, they were disappointingly small with dingy lighting and an unpleasant smell upon check-in. Despite being comfortable, the room size didn't justify the high cost, especially with excessive extra fees for things like early check-in. The service from staff members throughout the hotel was outstandingly welcoming and accommodating. The location was convenient and easy to navigate. The dining experience ranged from overpriced to top-notch. The overall facilities were adequate, with some room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel has a prime location, ideal for exploring downtown Chicago and close to Michigan Avenue. The rooms were well-equipped but the proximity to noisy elevators was a downside. The staff was friendly and accommodating, though some issues were not resolved promptly. The dining experience could have more variety and higher quality. Despite some minor drawbacks, the hotel offers good value for the location.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were excellent, but we had to endure noise until the specified check-in time, and they were not as clean as expected. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with the staff being lovely and helpful, but there was a regrettable incident where my husband was wrongly accused of not paying his tab and got continually bothered. The location was exceptional, right in the heart of downtown with easy access to key points, but the parking situation was a letdown. The dining options were average but nothing extraordinary stood out. Overall, a decent stay with some highlights and some lows.

The room size was good, and the Japanese soaking tub was a nice touch. However, cleanliness was an issue with stained carpets and a very hard bed. On top of that, the room felt stuffy, and resolving issues with the front desk was frustrating.
