It was very quiet, and the location was fabulous. We like the hotel’s unique aesthetic. The cleaning crew came a bit too early though, and the pillows could be a bit more comfy.

Pros. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and in impeccable shape. The space provided was great (chamber suit). There were plenty of outlets..thoughtful situated. Very convenient to have the shower in a separate room from the toilet. The controls for the room temperature were within our command. Free cocktails every night from 7-8, amazing! And the location of the hotel was right near a bunch if restaurants, the Chicago institute of art and the Grant Park.

Cons. That' the windows could not be opened, so the room could not be ventilated and freshen the air.

Pros. Loved that the room was half vanity and bathroom. When people travel they're always getting ready for something. Make sense you give them ample place to do it.
