You get what you pay for
The room price is pretty high when compared to other hotels, but you get what you pay for, and in this case it was worth it. The room was large and had a seperate bath with a rain shower. It is also worth paying for a "view" room. I loved my view of the Chicago River. Being pretty centraly located everything is within a short cab ride or walk of the hotel and the staff is very helpful. The little cafe off to the side is not bad either.
