Friendly, Clean & Great Location
Front desk staff was friendly and check-in was a breeze. Housekeeping staff also did a great job.
One note: Breakfast hours for the cafe are posted until 11:00am. However, the staff said they close at 10:30 and stopped making fresh coffee at 10:00. Not a huge deal. Just get there by 10:00am if you want coffee.
Loved the River North location. So much to do in that area.

I used the hotel for work and the location was excellent. There are many stores and restaurants around so it is easy to enjoy eating and drinking.
The check-in process was smooth and very comfortable.
The room was spacious enough and had a comfortable bed and couch. The bathroom was clean and not uncomfortable at all. I stayed in winter and the air conditioner worked fine and the hot water worked fine. I would use it again.

Will stay here again
Great. I was here for work and was very comfortable. I worked from my room as well as the lobby and felt fine doing both.
Staff was SO warm and welcoming! Not common these days, and so appreciated.
Would stay here again!

First stay in Chicago! We’ll be back!
Awesome location for walking to just about anything. Great service, cafe for breakfast. Only negative is that there were frequent police/fire sirens pretty much nightly.

Room not as advertised.
Room we chose advertised accessible shower with a pull out couch. When we checked in was told we could not receive both options despite the fact that is what we paid for. Also, FYI, valet parking is $65 per night

Car problems with valet
Not so good. Valet messed up my transmission. How i can drive more than 40 hours with out an issue, and they move my car 10 feet. I had to find a tow low enough to move my car that wouldnt shift into neutral.

This is a no-frills hotel; however, the employees are excellent. From valet to the doorman (John is a gem) to front desk.
Location is just off busy River North hotspot.. which allows for a quieter stay but easy walk to everywhere l. Located across from Andy’s Jazz Club so convenient for a later evening out.

Very clean. However, very hot rooms
It is a very clean hotel in a nice area. The room was done up nicely as well. My only criticism is that the room was so hot that it made very hard for us to get a good nights rest. When we asked the front desk about it or getting a fan they were extremely rude to us. I'm not sure I could sleep here again with the temperature of the rooms only able to go down to 67. This was also in the winter when it was cold outside. I couldn't imagine staying here in the summer months.
