Great location, very clean, and helpful staff. What more can I say? more

Staff was very helpful and friendly. The view was excellent and the location was right in the thick of Chicago! Rooms were large and comfortable. Free wireless internet. The only down side was parking at the hotel was $43/night! We ended up parking about three blocks away at Millennium Park garage for $25/night. Chicago traffic was bad, so if you... more
