We arrived at 3pm to check in and were told room wasn’t ready, waited almost 45 minutes and room still wasn’t ready and had to check in to a lower grade room. For the price of the hotel room expected much better.

Chicago didn’t disappoint!
Great location and what beautiful views! The neighborhood where this hotel is was stunning with flowers blooming all around and it is close to all sorts of great restaurants, pubs, shopping, etc. I would recommend staying here if you’re looking for a quiet neighborhood that’s a short walk to a ton of attractions.
