Loved the breakfast buffet - great mix of hot and cold items. Plus, the front desk staff was friendly, the parking lot was convenient, and the location was excellent; safe/walkable for attending a concert at the United Center.
Parking is 1st come 1st service bases but a parking garage is not that far away. The staff is great very helpful and knows what's going on around the city makes you feel welcome. The bartender was a great person, made you feel like family. I would definitely come back on my next visit to the Chi
Excellent place to stay! Breakfast was great and super friendly staff!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Parking is limited, first come first serve, but there is another lot within walking distance. My room was comfortable, would have liked more lighting but it had everything I needed. Access to your room is more secure compared to other hotels. Staff is very friendly. Restaurant and bar onsite is nice.
Nice hotel close to the hospitals. Very clean with comfortable bed and nice hot shower. The staff were all VERY nice and friendly. Not too much to do within walking distance except a few fast food restaurants. The bar food was not good.
Parking at the hotel is very easy and you don’t have to walk a long way to the hotel. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. The only negative would be the noise. Easy to hear other doors slamming and sirens all night long.
Parking is right there in a nicely lit safe area. Very nice friendly staff. Enjoyed the great breakfast and lounge for quick bite to eat and cocktail after arrival. Have stayed here several nights in the past few months.
