The location of the hotel right off Michigan Avenue was perfect. Public parking right across the street. The hotel is fresh and new. Many staff available to assist. Do not skip the complimentary breakfast! I would easy pay $20 for that breakfast as it had everything from fresh fruit, real eggs, pastries, even a coffee cream warmer/frother machine for the great coffee!
