Our room over looked Lake Michigan. It was gorgeous. The staff was pleasant and responsive to questions. You could tell it was an older building because even on the 7th floor you could hear the street, but that really did not bother us. We would stay again.

Hotel room smelled like 100’s of people had smoked in it and there was no heat. The lake view was stunning but that meant we were on one of the busiest streets in Chicago, at a street light, so it sounded like being on the Daytona 500 track.

Good experience at competitive rate

Mid September stay. Room on floor 9 with wonderful north LSD and Oak Street Beach view. Okay room. Seemed always chilly regardless of thermostat setting. Bath tub a bit rusty and well worn. Services were great. A drink at the bar is highly recommended.
