My stay at the hotel was incredible. The rooms were beautifully designed with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The apartment setup with the bedroom, desk, and bathroom was amazing. However, the service fell short as they seemed unwelcoming to certain guests and charged an unexpected cleaning fee. The location was superb, offering easy access to everything you might need, though noise from neighboring parties was a drawback.

I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The location is amazing, right in a residential building with friendly people and easy access to everything. The rooms are beautiful and make for a cozy evening watching the Chicago sunset. However, the excessive 'DONT do' signs around were a bit off-putting.

Sitting in one of the armchairs in the evening and watching the sunset over Chicago from the room was a dream. The staff, especially the door reception team, were so helpful and made me feel incredibly secure during my stay.

The location couldn't have been better! Perfect walking distance to all attractions, and the subway right outside if I wanted to explore more. Though, there was a bit of noise from a neighbor's party on the 50th floor until late evening.

I didn't have a dining experience here except for yogurt, but the proximity to great restaurants and bars downtown was a major plus.

The facilities were excellent, and the view from the penthouse was unbelievable! However, the additional cleaning fee of $125 was unexpected.

The hotel's rooms were beautiful and very comfortable, with a separate unit layout featuring a bedroom, desk, and bathroom. The loft/second level added extra space, though cleanliness could have been better. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, but additional cleaning fees were charged. The location was perfect, within walking distance to attractions and with a subway line nearby for further exploration. The view was unbelievable, and it was close to great downtown restaurants and bars, with an excellent supermarket next door. The dining experience included grilled meats. The facilities were well-appointed. However, the value for money may have been a concern with extra cleaning charges.

The hotel offers stunning downtown city views but falls short of the quality advertised on the website. The rooms, though well-equipped with amenities, were not thoroughly cleaned upon arrival, needing a floor wash.
