This property is located in downtown Chicago, home of the most unreasonable hotel rates outside of Manhattan. In relation to other hotels, the $200/night list rate for this hotel isn't expensive but it is hard to get out of your head when evaluating the property.

This was a clean, quiet hotel that is really nothing special. I've received similar accomodations at hotels under $100 in other major metro areas. Breakfast was good, though the space was crowded enough that I just took it to my room. Free wired high speed interest worked flawlessly.

Those who have read my other reviews know I'm a light sleeper, and noise was not a problem at this hotel. I was right outside the elevator, but never heard it or any traffic noise other than the occasional siren.

My only complaint was scarce bedding. Another blanket tucked in a drawer or in the closet area would have been nice when I work up in the middle of the night chilled.

The shower had intermittent pressure, but it didn't affect the temperature and the low pressure lasted less than five seconds. Even the low pressure was enough to shower by, so it was more amusing than annoying.

The hotel is six blocks from the nearest subway station (Red Line). If you are looking for subway convenience in the same area of town, there is a Holiday Inn Express right across the street from the local station.

I am not sure I would stay here again for a similar trip, though I have no complaints about the hotel. I would probably find something a little closer to a subway station.

This was a very clean, modern, pleasant hotel in an excellent location. Free internet, cheerful and helpful front desk, free breakfast. All at a great price. Would definitely come back, (and I've stayed in many Chicago hotels that are more expensive and better known).

Stayed at this hotel for 5 days and totally enjoyed the experience. The staff were always very friendly and courteous from the moment we arrived. The rooms were of a good size and spotless with power shower, TV and coffee making facilities. The hotel is in an excellent location (just around the corner from the Magnificent Mile) with many shops, restaurants and bars located nearby. The only slightly down side was the small breakfast room (for the size of hotel) which could get a little crowded during the high season. However I would definitely have no hesitation staying at this hotel again.

We stayed for 3 nights during the marathon weekend in Oct. My company had a good corporate rate so I was very happy with the price/location. The hotel was very close to all the shopping and there were tons of good restaurants only a few blocks away. It was about a mile from Grant Park and it was an easy metro ride from Midway airport (although the metro stop was about 5-6 blocks away). The breakfast hours were great (6-10am) and they were very good at refilling - even right up to 10am. There was a nice selection of waffles, cereal, bagels, muffins, patries, juice, yogart, etc. The room was very clean but there was only shampoo and soap so make sure you bring everything that you need. The sign in the room said $299 / night....which is way more than I would pay for any hotel. This was a nice hotel but definitely not $299 nice although the location was really good. However, there were tons of other hotels within a couple of blocks so I would recommend looking around for a good deal when planning your trip.

I would definitely stay here again!

Suggestions......Timothy O'Tooles for a good sports bar, good lunch at PJ Clarkes (next to Embassy Suites).
