I felt that what I had paid for a night stay was far too much for the experience I was given. There were too many inconveniences during our stay made me feel this way. After paying EXTRA for valet parking, our baggage took 1 1/2 - 2 hour(s) to get to our room. I had to call the front desk to ask for my bags to be brought up. I asked if we could also get ice and water from room service when asking for my bags which took 1 hour after getting our bags. We only received the water and no ice. Room service brought ice upstairs about 1 hour later. And the pool was mediocre at best. Other than those things, we enjoined our stay. Room service was great when ordering from their menu(s). Food was 4.1/5 and was great late at night. Bed was very comfortable and shower was great. The tub’s a little small, but still pretty nice. Everything was clean too. Overall, it didn’t seem like a true 5-star hotel to me. This place was more like the Hilton Chicago.

Honestly, it wasn’t worth my time no price. I thought it would be a nice experience but it’s old and you don’t get a five star hotel feel from this. It truly just feels like a Hilton dressed up. Both my mom and I had charges we didn’t recognize and the front desk was less than helpful. I wouldn’t stay again.

Disappointed

The food was so sub-par. For a $200 breakfast for two, I expect the food to be at least hot and cooked to order. For $300 dinner, I expect to feel it was excellent. The meal should have been $150, tops. Always excellent service
