Loved the rooms! Very spacious and clean. The service was amazing as well. Had a minor issue with my TV and they sent someone right away to fix it! Very efficient, and friendly with comfortable rooms I looked forward to coming back to! It’s also located near the Mag Mile which made it convenient to walk around downtown Chicago!!
Everyone was so professional and friendly -especially Nia who was our welcome associate on check-in - balance of science and art remarkable - great and would highly recommend
The overall ambience of the hotel was incredible and incited my curiosity and wonder. I absolutely adored my room and how the shower was placed in the center of the room the restaurant had a wonderful selection for breakfast and they made a mean latte
Great location, so close to so many restaurants and shops and the Magnificent Mile itself. Yet Ontario Street itself was safe and quiet at night. Would stay again!
