"Breakfast is a buffet and was great!!! The breakfast blew my mind with how many options they had as well. Out of all of the resorts and hotels I’ve stayed at, the food blew the others out of the park. Never have seen so many options. Staff help was also excellent. The rooftop bar is a must do. The view was beautiful and is the tallest rooftop lounge in Chicago. Booking through Expedia is the way to go with this hotel for sure!!"
