Expedia Verified Review

5 / 5 Excellent

We were very satisfied with our stay. The bathroom looked newly updated, and all of the furniture was new. The carpet was old, but that didn't bother us. The staff was excellent, from the bellman to the front desk. The valet was rude at first, but the parking was convenient ($46 a night, and you have to walk completely around the property to get to the hotel entrance). Easy walk to Lou Malnati's and the Red Line to get to Wrigley Field. Millenium park is right across the street. The bellman was able to grab us a cab very quickly, you can tell they know what they are doing. I would recommend cabs in this area.
