Right across the street from the navy pier! Everything about the hotel is amazing as far as the lobby, weight room, pool, and room. The only thing that wasn’t good was the beds themselves. The weren’t comfortable. Other than that great place to stay.

Dude this place was awesome the view was amazing it’s right in front of O beach, we stayed here for lollapalooza and it was a walking distance and so affordable. There’s a beautiful bar in the lobby that you can drink at and also during festivals they have pop up activations with giveaways such as aperol spritz.

I loved staying at this hotel. We parked the car & walked the whole weekend. The man who helped bring our luggage to our room was very kind & did a great job, his name is Dakota. He also was there every day if we had any questions. We had a sunrise view of the Lake from our 14th floor window. We did have a room next to the elevators & that was extremely loud. We had no washcloths in the room. When I called down to get 4, I only was given 2. We were charged a $200 fee for incidentals the day we got there which made us very upset. They did take the charge off when we checked out. Dakota was there to help us put our luggage in our car the day we left. Thanks Dakota for your hard work & kindness.

We were in a bit of a predicament due to the pool at another hotel being shut down. This hotels pool was so nice. We were in it every day. 8 ft. deep and provided exercise for me an let my kids get out some energy. Loved every bit of my stay.

Good Enough for a Night, But Not Much More

If you’re simply looking for a place to crash for the night, this hotel gets the job done. The rooms are basic and clean, but don’t expect many extras. There’s no control over the HVAC in the room, the beds are on the smaller side, and there isn’t a dedicated sitting area. Service is adequate, though not especially warm—bar staff, for example, wouldn’t bring drinks out to the patio. Overall, it’s a very average stay: nothing terrible, but nothing particularly memorable either. It works best if your priority is convenience rather than comfort or amenities.
