Stayed here for the Chicago Marathon weekend. Location was everything. Perfect for marathon morning! Our room was ok but paid for a room with 2 bathrooms but when we checked in and went to the room one of the bathrooms was under construction and the door was locked. There was not another room available, and no compensation was given so I was a bit unhappy about that. Would I stay again, yes, as the location was perfect.

Check in is 3pm and our $700 suite (for 1 night) was not ready until 5pm. We received drink vouchers. We were granted late check out at 1pm but when we returned to our suite at noon we were locked out. At check in it was not mentioned to have our self parking ticket stamped for the hotel price so we had to pay extra leaving the parking garage. Also not mentioned was a complimentary coffe maker so we had to request that in the am wait for it and it didn’t work properly - leaked all over the table it was on. The suite was very outdated. The dining table was old, scratched, stain and varnish missing, bathroom had hair on the bathtub, toys in the window sill. Bell service was promised in 5 minutes and 25 minutes someone arrived.

That’s a beautiful historical hotel located in heart of Chicago. Comfortable bed, pillows, has a fridge. We loved that all the restaurants were around and it was a walking distance to Chicago Marathon start line. It would’ve been nice if they had a breakfast included, they do have a restaurant but we haven’t checked it.

I had three mini fridges in my room, one of which was the stocked mini bar, another that was empty and another that had the previous-person who-stayed-in-the-room’s leftovers. So three fridges, but no coffee maker. That’s right - no coffee in the room. The phone didn’t work. The clock wasn’t plugged in. If this room weren’t over $300/night, I’d be rating differently, but my expectations were commensurate with cost.

Lovely hotel in a central location. My Deluxe King Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was small and could use an update but was very clean. Staff/Customer service was excellent. Lobby and and area are beautiful and inviting. Public transport is right outside hotel so a little loud but highly convenient. I would definitely stay here again.
