"Be very clear about the destination fees and high parking daily. These totaled to the ‘discount’ I got when I made the reservation. Although not exactly false advertising, it is super misleading."

"It was our first time in Chicago, and we would definitely stay here again. The hotel is clean, quiet, and so pretty. (with an art deco vibe) It’s also located in a great area, very easily walkable to most shops/attractions/etc that were already on our list. The staff was so friendly. I wish I got the name of the lovely lady who was so generous to my friends and I. Overall such a nice comfy place to stay at!"
