I guess you can say we were UNDERWHELMED. The room decor, halls, and elevators were drab. (More artwork on the walls or drapes would help) The room was in need of updating: paint peeling in the bathroom, stain on the couch. But worst of all was the breakfast. Hotel should be ashamed to charge $22 each for what another review called mediocre at best. Instant oatmeal, no juice machine (you had to specially order juice from the hostess), minimal supply of bread offering. No fresh fruit. Unappealling and minimal supply of pastry. Poor hostess had much too much to do -- and so silverware was out when we arrived, several food containers needed to be refilled, etc. We had hoped for something special for the buffet; instead we left feeling hungry and ripped off. Also: the neighborhood felt sketchy and we were not eager to walk around outdoors.On the other hand: the staff were warm and welcoming and the bed was quite comfortable. The rooftop pool looked quite inviting. Very disappointing stay.

Location: not bad. Super close to the Clinton station of the blue line, thus very easy to get to the airport. But there is no store or restaurant within 5 mins of walk. There are some stores like Dunkin, H mart (a Korean supermarket) about 10 minutes away by walking. Cleanse : OK. I saw a long white (or blonde) hair entangled with the telephone cord. Otherwise, no issue. Quietness: It is very close to a major highway, and the room is not very soundproofing. I could hear the guests next door talk if loudly, threw up at 2am, and turned on their shower. And I could hear the highway all the time, especially some motorcycles. I would suggest you to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

While over all comfortable, and a great location, we unfortunately had noisy neighbors each night of our 2 night stay. The first night kids next store were apparently running around screaming as we were trying to go to sleep. The second night there seemed to be a loud party. Finally had to call the front desk at 3:30 am to ask them to intervene.

Location is good if you are visiting a business at The Old Office. If traveling from ORD - blue line subway station is a 2 min walk. It is roughly 24min walk to the Bean and 45mins to Navy Pier. Plenty of places nearby to eat. Rooms and windows are very dated. The traffic noise was very loud! Staff was very helpful.

this location was redone and is updated inside. the bathroom was a bit hard and i do think they could have larger towels to be more body positive. the sheets also caused me to break out in a rash, which i’ve never experienced at a hotel before. they do offer fragrance free sheets but isn’t specifically mentioned they use fragranced detergent or offer fragrance free (i didn’t smell anything when using the bed).
