Great but miss the Cherry Circle Room

Love the location and ambiance of the room. Miss the Cherry Circle Room which was my favorite dining and drinks part of the hotel on my last visit. Cindy's is nice with a great view and great food, but not as intimate and stylish as the Cherry Circle.

Great place for a cocktail, not an overnight.

This is definitely a 3 star hotel. The rooms were very hot & muggy with hardly any light (the windows open to a very narrow alleyway). In-room thermostat does not work and was stuck at 71 degrees our entire visit. Accommodations were cramped, bed was hard, elevator took between 7-10 minutes to be called which made us late two days in a row. The common areas are very nice, but I will not stay here again.

Was so excited to stay at the CAA finally! The room left a bit to be desired but that was ok with how fun the overall experience was. Multiple bar/dining options, very dynamic entertainment, and in an amazing (can't beat) location. It almost felt like being on a cruise ship. They also had a really cool local group put on an event while we were there, which was very affirming of queer and gender nonconforming identities, which was a wonderful surprise. Also a surprise concert with SoFar Sounds Chicago, which although we did not have time to go to, was such a cool opportunity the hotel offerred. I felt very lucky to be able to stay here while visiting Chicago, after having gone just for drinks when I lived in Chicago.

Overall the property had what my family and I were looking for - location. The hotel has an old charm to it and it was always busy and full of guests and non guests. We stayed in a corner room so we could get as much light we could and also have cloud gate view. The shower was great and bed was comfy. Overall 5 stars but if we didn’t have the natural lighting or a good view it could easily go down to 2 stars because the room can get warm quick so it’s best to crack open a window. I believe other rooms have smaller windows and are darker in general.

Great first trip to Chicago!

The valet parking makes it easy to get in/out of the hotel area without stress. $79 a night is expensive but worth it to us. The customer service is top notch and everyone is friendly and professional. The room was clean and well kept. Bed comfortable. The only problem was that our mini fridge wasn’t working. When I notified the front desk, they apologized and refunded the $30 resort fee without me asking for it.

What a charming hotel! We loved playing a boar game in the Game Room before our dinner at the rooftop Restraunt Cindy’s! Such a great location, so close to Millenium station and the Fine Arts building. We came in to see a tapping of Wait Wait Don’t Tell me and had an absolutely fabulous time in the city.
