My wife, myself, her mother and our 5 year and 10 year old stayed here for a week in early May.

We booked a two bedroom suite which had two large bedrooms, one with a Queen bed and one with a King bed. The two boys shared the sofa bed which was bigger than we have come across in other hotels, and was more than adequate for the two of them. The beds were very comfy. The King bedroom had a full bath and the Queen had a walk in shower. There was la arge sitting room and a full kitchen. The two bedrooms had plasma tv's and there was a larger plamsa in the sitting room.

There was a free breakfast which had a good selection including, scrambled eggs, sausages, potatoes, fruits, waffle maker, cereals, hot oatmeal and various breads and cakes.There was also a free mangers reception Mon. to Thurs. from 6pm until 7.30pm which included a nice selection of hot and cold food and wine and beer.

Theres a small well equiped gym and a small pool on the 27th floor. Didn't try the pool but I believe its quite cold!

The hotel is located in a very central area a few minutes walk from the shopping areas of North Michigan Ave. and State Street. There are some nice restaurants nearby including Harry Caray's, Maggiannos and for the kids, The Rainforest Cafe and a huge McDonalds.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly Kozi on reception. Overall we had a great time and would return again.

My husband and I stayed here at the last minute because of a great deal they were offering for their grand opening and we were very pleasantly surprised! The staff was enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful and the hotel was well appointed. It is also in a fantastic location and the only transportation we had to hire all week was to McCormick place for a conference. All other destinations (shopping on Mich. Ave., restaurants and art museum) were within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in a two bedroom suite for three nights (3/31 - 4/03). The room and beds were excellent. The pool and fitness facilities were very nice. The breakfast was great. Our kids liked it better than Embassy Suites. Even though the hotel had only opened three days earlier, everything was running very smoothly.
