Shop around - not a bad hotel by any means just straight out of the 1940's no vent fan in the bathroom, very steamy. slightly poor water pressure overall. Television had fairly poor quality, 1st gen flat screen. all analog signals. needs an update for sure. very poor signage. took me twenty min to find my room . HUGE hotel.

A touch overpriced for the experience. no real complaint just very dated roo... read more

Very Good A bit worn around the edges, needs an update, but didn't impact my stay at all. The room I had looked inward, which was a bit depressing...but I was hardly there, as I was off exploring Chicago! Location was great, room was a good size and bed was comfortable - great value for money

Great location, period furniture and very nice staff Downstairs, it looks a bit chaotic and the entrance is unpleasant, with too many people, signs. So it is a pleasant surprise that the main hall with mosaics on the walls is beautiful and the room itself is clean and well kept. The hotel is very centrally located and we had a fantastic view onto the lake and up and down Michigan Ave. We ended up having something like a suite - with a big living room, big bathroom and spacious bedroom. The windows are new, so there was littl... read more
