    comfortable bed
    nice hot tub

    The queen room was spacious with a comfy bed and a nice city view. The shower was a good size, and the pool area, including the hot tub, was a perfect way to relax after my long workday. The location made it easy to get to all my business meetings.

    spacious room
    delicious seafood
    loud door noise
    small pool
    table repairs needed

    The room was spacious and had a fine view, complemented by a fantastic shower and comfortable bed. The hotel doors slammed loudly, waking me up frequently. Although the pool was nice, it could have been larger, and the tables in the room were in need of some repairs. Dining options like grilled seafood were delicious, and the overall experience was enjoyable despite a few hiccups.

    outdoor pool
    dedicated lap lanes

    This hotel was just a good match for a weekend breather in Chicago with best value for money ratio. The outdoor pool with dedicated lap lanes was nice but chaotic, with lots of kids around. Avoid the pool during busy times if you want some peace.
