The hotel check in was smooth and easy! Our room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the river. The workout rooms were well equipped and pool area is large and bright (but lacks an outside sun deck). This hotel is located in an excellent spot for enjoying the Riverwalk, walking to the Lake front, shopping on Michigan avenue and easily getting to lots of great dining options. Would stay again!

The staff, first and foremost, were exceptional at every interaction. I always felt welcomed, wanted and assisted. The room we stayed it, a 20th floor suite, was practically perfect. The bathroom vanity had sharp chips at the bowl rim/front edge and the carpet was very torn in one spot. Dirty windows are to be expected in Chicago. None of these were awful nor deal breaking. The amenities were great, the bed was comfy and I can't complain about anything else. I would certainly stay here again.
