It was close to Soldier field for the football game we attended.Was close to the field and within walking distance of good places to eat. The workers there were very nice.Bed was reasonably comfortable.Overall, it is a good hotel for that price.

Bathroom door would not close all the way

The hotel was old but had been kept really well.

The restaurant was overpriced, and the air conditioning made worse.

Hotel was built in 1893 impressed in many ways. Friendly people take good care of your needs.

There was no bedside table on one side of the king size bed.

Hotel is an historic building,the lobby is really quite beautiful. Tour buses were a few blocks away. Short distance to Buckingham Fountain. Easy access to taxi or bus stops.

Toilet needed a little more pressure, sink a bit less. Tub didn't drain well so your ankles were covered when you were done with a shower.

This was a fabulous hotel. The room was at a great view of Lake Michigan and Navy Pier.Hotel was clean,comfortable, and convenient to downtown Chicago.

A little overpriced for the condition.
