    It is in perfect and excellent location to a public park, set a short way from the hotel. The bets part that it's close to the Magnificent Mile as well as many attractions like the Millennium Park.

    For the price I don't think it was ok that you only have free access to WLAN in public places.

    city exploration

    perfect proximity to parks and city landmarks for walks

    I was delighted by the hotel's closeness to Millennium Park, just a quick stroll away where I enjoyed beautiful views, and the fantastic Chicago Cultural Center, only a 10-minute walk. Taulant at the concierge even were really nice too help us with a last-minute wardrobe emergency.

    The bed and pillows were a dream. Staff was courteous and valets very helpful.

    Availability of a continental breakfast or coffee. There was available room service ala carte, but it wasn't very affordable.

    This hotel has a great location. Close to many good dining options. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful.the late check out time was also appreciated.

    Didn't like that you had to pay so much for the WiFi in your room.
