The gentleman named David who secured our luggage while we waited for the room to become available was very helpful and friendly. He even gave us each a bottle of water because we were so hot coming back from the Bears game. His customer service was much appreciated.

Everything was wonderful. I loved how well the building was preserved but also offered updated rooms with modern amenities. It’s in the heart of everything and right across from the gorgeous park that made getting some sun super easy.

The hotel is pretty good overall, centrally located, but when we arrived the room was not clean, actually I was surprised on how dirty it was, I am sure the changed the sheets and did not even attempt to clean it.

Paid extra for a room with a view of the lake. They tell us they over booked and moved us to another room and comped us with drink vouchers and neither of us drink. So I paid extra to stare at walls of other buildings. I would never use this hotel again after how they handled things. I didn’t get money back and got vouchers that didn’t get used. I booked in April and still got booted from my room. What’s the point of reserving early through them or any site!
