The room was an average size, but the bathroom drain was clogged. Once I reported it to the management they immediately offered a different room.

Great place, great location, amazing lake view. Parking is way too expensive and there is no coffee maker in the room (which is a boomer for me). Besides that the rooms are roomy and very comfortable.

Stuck in the 80s - NOT a 4 star hotel
Dated, noisy with zero room amenities.
I have never seen a hotel that claims to be a 4 star hotel of a known chain to have plastic disposable cups instead or glasses or mugs. No kettle no complementary hot drinks......i guess they were going to melt the plastic cups.....
When the air-condition was on it was like you were inside an aeroplane cabin (the noise was unbearable and unacceptable).
We have to queue for 15 mins to get a lift to our floor .
.....i can go on and on and on

First off this location is not really kid friendly. After valet, and ordering at the restaurant employee seemed to want a tip, when every thing is so expensive to begin with. Really not worth the money. I understand it’s Chicago but so what. I won’t be back. And behind the front desk they had some goofy setup of spray paint cans that were painted white?

This is one of my favorite hotels in Chicago. Beautiful views of Lake Michigan and of navy pier. Just a few minutes walk to navy pier or Michigan ave. Has nice bar and a pretty cool nightlife on Friday and Saturday nights. The rooms were very clean and spacious.
