Overall my friends and I enjoyed our stay, it’s in the heart of the city so location is perfect, the staff was great, anything we needed they had it. The restaurant downstairs was really good! The only problem was the pool was closed during our stay.
Alexis, 3-night trip

Wonderful stay

The hotel is centrally located to most tourist attractions. Able to walk to many places. Shopping and dinning right outside the front door. friendly reception. The room is nice and spacious. Downside - pool closed. We book the location because of the pool. On the first night, housekeeping got ahead of herself and started knocking on doors at 7:30am ☹️
Josephine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here 4 nights, so grateful for early check in at 6 am (w extra fee) we got in to rest and sleep from taking red eye flight. Great roomy 1 bedroom suite black out curtains and big Figi hot tub in suite. Great location in River North with restaurants, shops, and market within blocks. Staffs are friendly and were always greeted with smiles. And the CBR restaurant/bar in hotel is an inviting space to eat and lounge.
