This historic hotel is well located in Chicago’s Gold Coast. Front desk staff, bartenders, and food service staff clearly have a customer-first focus. From check-in through next morning’s breakfast buffet, a satisfactory hotel stay. I’ll definitely be back.

6/10 Good

The room was very clean and well-maintained; however, it was smaller than expected. One issue was the lack of a ventilation fan in the bathroom, which caused odors to linger in the room after use. Additionally, the bathroom layout may be somewhat challenging for larger guests. When I approached the front desk to request a deodorizer, the staff member appeared inconvenienced by the request, which was disappointing. Housekeeping service was also not available during my stay. On a positive note, the lobby was clean and inviting, the bartenders were friendly and attentive, and the view from the property was excellent. Overall, while there were some areas that could be improved, there were also several aspects of the stay that I enjoyed.
