"We were immediately greeted and welcomed by Robyn and staff. The communication was excellent if anything was needed during the stay. Breakfast was very convenient and the staff did their best to keep all items stocked nicely. Rides generally showed up within 2 to 5 minutes and we're very reasonable. Public transportation is also very close if needed. The cleaning staff was amazing. Rooms were very nice. Shopping was very close. There's a department store and other shopping are a few minutes...

Great location in River North close to lots of big tourists attractions and many great bars and restaurants. I walked around a lot and had no trouble finding things close by. Public transportation in Chicago is also fairly reliable in general, in my...

"We arrived at the hotel on Friday July 19th during the computer down time and were unable to check in.

The hotel itself is beautiful and so...
