I can't say enough about this hotel! When I have stayed in minimally priced hotels in larger cities, I pretty much only expect a queen size bed in a closet size room. We were terribly pleased with our room, the King sized bed was comfy and the bathroom was large with the extra treat of a handheld massage shower. The staff was very nice and we enjoyed a late night wind down in the seating area outside. This hotel is a block from Michigan ave, and is walking distance from a bunch of cool restaurants and nightclubs, if that is your intent. Valet Parking is $42 a night, and well worth the price. We foolishly thought we would save money by parking the rental outside of the city and take the metra, TRUST me, save money- park at the hotel.
He and I are planning a trip back to the city this summer, and we plan to stay here again!

Stayed here 2 nights to attend a trade show at McCormick Place. Location is 1 block from Magnificent Mile shopping. Many restaurants within 2 blocks. Friendly staff. We arrived at 10AM and our room wasn't ready so we left our bags with the bellman who promised to take them to our room later. When we returned, the bags were still secured in the storage area. We brought them up ourselves.

Our room was located 10' from the elevators but was so well inuslated that unless the door was open, there was no distraction. The room was clean except for the one 9" long hair on the back side of a bath towel hanging on the rack. Needless to say, that one went straight to the floor and I used another.

Free breakfast included freshly made do it yourself waffles, cold cereals, breads and bagels, donuts, muffins.

This place was no better or worse than any olf the other hotels I've stayed at in Chicago over the years.

We were in town for a Blackhawks game and Valentine's Day and we were joined by two other couples. We all had separate rooms and all had very good experiences with all facets of our stay. Check in was an easy and friendly experience, our rooms were very clean and perfect for our needs. Check out was Noon so it gave some extra time to sleep in and still catch some of downtown Chicago. Location is perfect for all of the downtown attractions. No pool or hot tub which I would prefer on an extended stay or if I were bringing children but it was perfect for a one or two night stay.

One of the few hotels that I know of that offers a great continental breakfast to everyone staying at the hotel. The hotel is clean and freshly remodeled for being right downtown. The price was very fair and location couldn't be better.

We stayed here for a 5 day long weekend full of lots of shopping, walking around and eating. This hotel is in a prime location, its close to everything and if you needed to take the bus (that will take you anywhere) it stops right in front of the hotel. There is a coffee shop across the street (dunkin doughnuts) and great restaurants all around (highly reccomened Rosebuds & cheesecake factory to eat at, and cheescake factory for both food and EXCELLENT deserts).

Our hotel room was great, VERY clean and fresh. Bathroom was very clean, everything was restocked daily and the staff was very nice and helpful. On a PLUS side our room was directly across from the elevator and we NEVER once heard it open or people out there.

Continental breakfast was AMAZING! SO much to choose from, even make your own waffles, fresh fruits, cereal, many types of milk, danishs, bagels, etc.

Only thing that sucked was no pool. But its Chicago I don't think there are many hotels that have pools there. Hotel was great though. VERY CLEAN, front desk staff was really nice and held our luggage behind the counter while we shopped, AFTER we checked out, but before we had to catch our train.

I would stay there again in a heartbeat anytime I go back to Chicago.
