The construction going on was a bit of a pain to get around. It was a busy time, but the hotel was doing a terrific job at getting things taken care of in all manners. The people are always terrific here!

Balcony views were great! Staff was friendly and the room was a decent size. The only thing I would say needs improvement would be the cleanliness of the rooms and bathroom.

I love the convenience of the location of this property to Michigan Ave. and the museums. The quality of the room could be improved. The toilet paper quality is terrible, the quality of the towels and bed linens are three star rated...and should be upgraded! Don't like that there is no carpeting in the hallways. It makes a noisy atmosphere. I asked for bottled water in my room and had to repeatedly ask for it every day....I stayed for a week! I should not have had to keep asking.

Great address in a beautiful building, but the hotel felt like a factory. They don't believe in carpet, so the room felt cold and the hallways were noisy. One is stuck with a "resort fee" at the end. Breakfast options were quite limited. Nice indoor pool and fitness facility, however.

There were a lot good things to say about this hotel. The location was great, the valet was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. We felt extremely safe in this hotel and the amenities were terrific! Our room could have been cleaner. The floors had sticky spots in our room. The bathroom had lots of spots that had never been cleaned, which included our shower. That was honestly the only downside. I wish we would have been able to spend more time there.

We loves how clean this hotel was. Has a great pool and hot tub. Beautiful and elegantly decorated. Beds were perfect. We had a beautiful corner room with beautiful views. Even with it being 2 street sides. The room was quiet at night. We will definitely stay again. All of the staff was very helpful and pleasant.

I frequent this hotel often I feel it is falling off in regards to its “luxury” experience. My room floors were scuffed pretty badly, the tub was dirty with long pieces of hair in it that I had to clean, and upon booking I requested a higher floor just to arrive and be met with a lower floor room. Thanks to Donny he did get me a room on the 13th floor which I was still partially unsatisfied but I accepted since I did not want to ruin my birthday vibe. I love this hotel but do better! I come here and pay the hefty price to experience luxury at its finest nothing less thank you
