This was a great room at a GREAT price - right in the center of the city. It was right on Miracle Mile, close to the main deep dish pizza places and a short walk to Navy Pier. I have stayed several times in the Chicago city center, and believe this hotel is a terrific value. The only drawbacks were that the bathroom was small and directly off the bedroom/main room wall and no free wireless in rooms.

We went to Chicago for the weekend and wanted a place that was affordable and in a good location. We were right off Michigan Avenue for shopping and able to walk to Navy Pier for drinks at night. The hotel was great and the staff were very helpful as well. The room was spacious and this might have been the best hotel shower I have ever used. I would return to this property without question if my travels take me back to chicago. There are also a lot of good restaurant choices within walking distance, both casual and nicer places.

The room was a pretty decent size. I stayed with 4 kiddos. I was in a standard double room and we were not cramped.
The room was clean and the bedding and pillows were WONDERFUL. I have seriously NEVER had a bed so comfortable.
The bathroom was the tiniest I have ever seen. You really do have to sit on the toilet sideways. Turn the sink on slowly so as not to be drenched.

Some of the staff were wonderful There was a younger (probably early 20's?) black lady and a middle aged white woman (probably 60?) that were both rude and acted very put out with any request for help or directions. The other 3 ladies were wonderful and very helpful.
I purchased through lastminutetravel and got the room for $43 a night for 4 nights.
I will stay again. With this hotel being in a nice area, accomidations wonderful and just a few steps from Michigan Ave. It is well worth a few snotty front desk ladies and a tiny bathroom.

Also be aware that they charge a $50 per day hold to your card upon check in for a deposit, I complained and they took it off through. May not matter to some but a family on a tight budget may not be able to lose $200 of their vacation funds.

Although the standard rooms were quite nice, the small bathrooms were fitted with a large sink and a bulky wooden support which obstructs your seat. You'll need to sit sideways in order for things to work out. My colleague's room (1821) reeked of cigarette smoke which was attempted to be covered by an air freshener. The emotionless elderly receptionist coldly offered another room. The signs in the hotel indicate the fitness center is on the 3rd floor, but the room's directory (black binder) indicated it's on the 15th floor. The center consists of a couple of treadmills and 3 sets of small weights (that I didn't see). If you want (wireless) internet, you must spend time in the lobby, or spend $9.95 per day.
