Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

The hotel and room were beautiful with just the right amount of comfort. My only suggestion is the concierge provided us list of things instead of any real assistance. They did recommend a breakfast place but when asking about theater they gave us some paper and said these are the shows playing. It was sort of odd and something I could do via the internet.

The room was unexpectedly spacious, especially for a city hotel. The restaurant was very good for breakfast (the only meal we ate at the hotel, it could be excellent for dinner, I just don’t know that). Convenient to the Art Institute, shopping, dining, and the lakefront. Great lobby. The only problem we had was that the safe was locked and security never showed up to unlock it.

This was once a great hotel (I stayed there as an undergraduate, camping out in the living room of my professor's suite). It's now a little seedy, sad, and old. Could use a large infusion of new money to restore its former glory.
