Disappointed Stay

The Best part of staying here was the Lakeview and short walk to Navy Pier. The Hotel service and food could have been better for first time guests like ourselves. Also, the toilet kept running the entire time until my boyfriend fixed it. The Cleaning staff were helpful and pleasant.

CHRISTINE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel and location!

Everything about the stay was awesome. The service, the guys handling the bags, the rooms, the custodians, the view from the balacony and gym. Especially the speed bag in the gym! I highly recommend this hotel, it was great to see the fireworks at Navy pier from the balacony as well.
Stefan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great view requiring some patience

Great view on lake side. Close walk to Navy Pier which was great. Most of staff friendly. Downside was waiting at night for elevators. Crowds would gather. Tried early check in my room still wasn't ready at 6pm so they gave me a different room. Overall I'd stay at that location again though.
LINDSAY, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had to leave a day
Eoin, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location, within walking distance to everything. Very close to Navy Pier, the beach, and the Michigan Lake Trail. The only unpleasant thing about the hotel was that we had a room right next to the elevator, and the noise was very annoying.

Emmanuel, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great view if you can see out your dirty window!

No soap or body wash in bathroom. Had a lake view room but the window was so dirty on the outside it ruined the view. The mattress was absolutely disgusting! The market/pantry was a joke. Not much for amenities other than the cold pool and gym. Gym was very well appointed.
Mattress pad not attached
Pad is suppose to be zippered to mattress
Wonder how old this mattress is
Outside window filthy
Barry, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Looks nice but needs better housekeeping

Room wasn’t very clean when we checked in still had food in the fridge from the last people. Went to get ice from the ice machine room and it reeked like urine, there was a garbage can full of used tampons on the ground in the ice maker room.
Adam, 5-night trip

Excellent view to see Navy Pier. Close walk to the beach with in 5 mins.
