Lovely hotel in a central spot when visiting downtown. Easily walkable and access to trains on same block. Restaurant bar has good food and lively atmosphere. Would stay here again!

"Wonderful Stay!"

I recently had the pleasure of staying at your hotel for the 2024 Chicago Marathon and I must say, it was a truly wonderful experience. The front desk team was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making the check in process seamless. I was also impressed by how the staff greeted me warmly each time I passed by. The hotel lobby, pool and my room were all spotless and the furnishings were well maintained and in excellent condition. I will certainly look forward to staying with you again in the future.

"Wonderful Stay!"

"Comfy stay during Chicago Marathon."

We stayed here for the Chicago Marathon. We loved the area that the hotel was surrounded by and we greatly appreciated that they allowed us to check into the hotel very early since our flight came in at 5:30 a.m. The bed was comfortable, the pool was heated and the staff was kind to us.
