    Amazing staff and gorgeous hotel. I’d come back to Chicago just to stay here again. My only complaint would be the noise. My room was near a dumpster and I heard it banging all night and a lot of loud running from the room above me. However, I could have just gotten particularly rude neighbors.

    Sad but true

    This hotel needs a professional managment company. The staff is super nice but everything is a bit worn. A hotel needs consistent refreshing and this hotel does not get that. The sheets were torn the bathmats frayed and the curtains sad and dated. They gave me an upgrade and the room turned out to be smaller and the above mentioned things they said they would remove the upgrade fee but they never did. It has some super cool elements like the basketball court but then they provide a tattered flat ball and the kitchen staff roll dished by you as you shoot. I am happy I stayed the bones of the building are amazing but there are much better hotels for less money in Chicago.
