Stayed at this hotel for one week. The front desk and concierge people were extremely helpful. The information they gave about restaurants turned out to be spot on. The Viand restaurant in the hotel was reasonably priced and the food was nice. Rooms were clean & large. Asked for a different room when our son came to stay with us and was accomodated within minutes at no extra charge. The fitness center and pool were adequate.
The location was perfect and within walking distance of almost every attraction including the beach. This was our fourth hotel stay in Chicago and we would definitely stay again in this hotel.

We recently spent three nights at the Courtyard on Ontario St. We were just 1 block off of Michigan Ave. about halfway between the river and the watertower. What a GREAT LOCATION! We were in easy walking distance of just about everything. We did use a cab to go to the Shedd Aquarium though.
The hotel was very clean, and our room large and comfortable. I was also very impressed by the friendly and courteous staff. There is a Starbucks right off the lobby which we used daily. We also had good experiences at the nearby Grand Luxe Cafe, Gino's East Pizza and Portillo's. In addition, there is a Trader Joe's within a block or so,which is a great place to pick up bottled water or some snacks at a very reasonable price.

This hotel is clean, quiet and comfortable. It is in a great location. Nearby in walking distance is Portillo's Hot Dogs, Gino's East, Giordanos, Al's #1 Italian Beef, Garrett's Popcorn, Navy Pier, Water Tower area, groceries, gourmet groceries, movie theater, bowling alley, and lots of shopping.

Parking is adjacent and $28/ day with In/Out priviledges.

Did not eat at the hotel but the menu looked good.

Swimming pool and gym are onsite.

I loved this hotel! The location is perfect! One block off of Michigan Ave. I was here on a workshop/mini vacation. When we (myself, sister, sister's friend and my sister in law) checked in I asked to be upgraded to a jr. suite, which we were. We were also asked if we wanted a refrigerator delivered to our room, which we accepted, at no extra charge. Everyone from the bellman to the front receptionist to house cleaning were very nice and made you feel like a special guest. Excellent recommendation to a sushi restaurant right down the street!
The warm cookies put out in the lobby was a nice touch after a long day of shopping and sight seeing! I would not hesitate to stay here again! Great Experience! Keep up the good work!

I stayed here 2 nights over a weekend for business. It was a great location close to everything downtown. Their rates were more reasonable then some other hotels. I had some minor problems with the internet access but was able to get what I needed in the business center. The staff was helpful with downtown information. I also got a good pizza recommendation to go to Uno down the block.
