I wish I had been notified that the elevator was out of service. The young lady who checked me in gave me a room on the second floor but when I returned that evening I was out on the 4th floor. I unfortunately have a knee which was in extreme pain after walking all over Downtown. Two elderly women were MORTIFIED that they had to climb stairs to the FIFTH FLOOR, of course the stairwell was thick with humidity and NO air conditioning… This situation for SUCH A LANDMARK is disappointing to say the...

This was the fourth time I’ve stayed here, and I’ll keep coming back. The location is very handy for families of Columbia College, the rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and it’s priced well.

We chose this hotel last minute and we were nervous because there were a couple recent negative reviews. There were 4 of us in our family and couldn't find anything negative to say about the hotel. The only disappointing fact was that the rooftop bar was not open but that wasn't a big deal. Everything was very clean. I actually wiped the floor in our room with a wet, white wash cloth, it was clean! There was no hair in the bathroom from a previous guest. There was no hair in the bed from a...

We will definitely be staying here again! Great location, clean room, and great service. They even have a great complimentary breakfast which is a must have in a city like Chicago.
The staff was great also. We had to switch trains for an earlier one due to weather and got into Chicago in the AM. Check in is 4pm and with two small children we were worried about what to do for hours but the staff helped us out and luckily had a room available.
