9/10 Wonderful! (1,011 reviews)
My room was very clean. The stay was very friendly and helpful. Check-in was a breeze. Since my room was ready they even let me check in early! There are 2 restaurants in this hotel. We had drinks at the one near the lobby and we ate at the ROOF. The food was delish! The environment was fun. We were worried that it was going to be more for the 20 something crowd, but there were adults of every age there. This hotel is also just steps from The Chicago Theatre which makes it super convenient when seeing an event there.
