Maria helped me on 1/15/25. It was my birthday and she upgraded my room to the 27th floor. The view was everything. Also when I came back to my room from celebrating my room was cleaned up. I was very happy with what I saw. I will definitely be back.

Great Hotel in a Cozy Neighborhood

We were in town for a birthday of a family member and had 3 rooms for a Saturday night. We love the location of this hotel being a block off of Michigan Avenue, it's just a more cozy neighborhood feel than the hustle and bustle a block away. However, it's near everything, so we were able to park our car, walk everywhere and not see our car until we checked out Sunday. I would definitely stay here again!
