We got to the property early, around 2:15pm to check in to our suite. We were told, a few minutes and our room would be ready and gave our personal phone number. It was recommended to get a drink while we wait, and the service to get a drink was ridiculous, let alone pricey ($30 for a beer and cranberry vodka). We heard nothing from the front desk about our room before 3pm. When my husband went up to the counter to get the room keys, waited another 15mins in line until he was helped and was told the room was still unavailable then told to step aside for others to be helped. We did not get our room key until after 3:30pm. The text was received at 3:35pm saying the room was available. We found a used travel size bottle of soap in the shower, a stain on a bathroom floor mat, the water temp took several minutes to get to warm, the tile floor grout was disgusting, no bottle openers at the room bar, etc. Forcing people to pay for a resort fee of $25 is also unacceptable, regardless if there are "perks" (at the time, this was not known or offered while we waited for the room to be ready. Next morning, the restaurant said there was a 45min wait for breakfast and there were several empty tables. The hotel standards received were poor. Recommendations to staying here is not happening. We would like to share pjctures as well!

The particular room we had must have been by water pipes/heater or something. We would hear water running and also hear a humming noise afterwards. This happened several times throughout the night. Overall the hotel was nice and had some really neat artwork and architecture. Very convenient location and they had live music at the bar area, so that was fun. I think we got unlucky with the specific room we had and noise.

We were in town for the Chicago Triathlon, and they gave us a late checkout to help accommodate the schedule of the event. Amazing staff and very responsive customer service (even at midnight). It's also an incredibly beautiful facility. The fitness center and pool are unbelievable. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved the location of the property. Walkable to Millennium Park and restaurants. They did a great job keeping up with towels at the pool even with it being so busy. It was a crazy weekend with the Chicago Marathon going on. We stayed on the 22nd floor in a double bed room. It was nice we could open up a window for fresh air, because the room was super small and stuffy. I appreciate the history of the building, but the room and bathroom need a major updating. Room service options were lackluster and very limited from the restaurant menu. You also couldn't get a text or alert in your room when waiting for in house restaurant dining. You just had to wait around and keep checking, even for 45 minutes. Just a little old school. The hotel itself was clean, just needs a bit of updating and better signage to let you know where things are. Very easy to get confused or turned around.
