The hotel was in fantastic view of the river and Chicago bridges.

The hall smelled very musty. The bathroom did not have a fan in it.

The hotel was located right in the heart of the downtown area and was close to all the attractions. The room clean and spacious.

There were only 2 elevators going to the upper.

This was a good hotel in an outstanding location. The rooms were larger than most hotels in this city.You can walk to just about everything from it, and it was convenient to public transportation too.

The only complaint was the thin walls. You can hear everything said in the hallway and in other rooms at times.
