My room was pristine upon arrival. Each day the staff came in, organized my items, left water for me each night, and just provided an overall fantastic experience. The location is right by great shopping and restaurants so it was so much fun.

Best hotel stay I've had in Chicago in many years. My 20th floor suite was spectacular and truly a home away from home. The Wifi was perfect and easy to access making the room and lobby ideal places to work remotely. I also loved the bath products which provide a spa element to my stay.
