Yes staff was excellent, room was great and comfortable,clean, nicely But there was an old blood stain on the comforter.
What made it an excellent stay was the timely food order from Ora pizza clean fresh smell nicely folded towels. Jordan was very understanding of my concern when checking out. I will stay again
The guy at the desk was very helpful. Showed me and my husband how to get around downtown! Roos was clean. Will be booking here everytime we visit chicago. Great location as well. Close to magnificent mile !
The hotel is not a bad option and in a great location. However, there was a problem with the HVAC system and the elevator and the hallways were very hot during our visit. Other than that, it's nice walking distance to the river.
The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable, and were very accommodating with my schedule and needs. The room was spacious and clean with a large amount of storage space.

Room was very nice. Staff were great. Breakfast was OK but the location of the room above the parking garage was suboptimal and the noise at this location is next to unbearable.
Staff were great. Room was fine, the in unit heater didn't work very well. Elevator smelled bad. You also have to walk through a parking garage after checking in to get to your room
