Good Value For The Location. Not Top Tier
I stayed at this hotel for a week while attending a giant convention at McCormick Place the week after Thanksgiving. Virtually all of the hotel rooms in the city get reserved for the conventioneers, and I chose to stay at this one because it's one of the closest hotels to McCormick place, and the shuttle buses go directly from the Hilton next door to McCormick place with no intervening stops. 
I was pleased they they honored my request for a room far away from the elevator for a quieter sleep.
This is an old hotel that has been mostly upgraded to contemporary standards. The heat is on all the time and you adjust the room temp essentially by adjusting the fan speed. . There's a window you can open, and in fact the weatherstripping was nearing the end of its life span, and the window was open a crack all the time. Not good for a place that's trying to sell itself as a 'green' hotel. 
The rooms are adequate but not luxurious. Nice desk to work at. The freebie internet is slow, but you can get high-speed for around $9/day. The slow internet is OK for checking e-mail but forget about downloading files or photos. It was around 35kB download speed, compared to about 175KB I have at home, and even that's a bit marginal. The slowness got tiresome after a while, which I guess is sort of the idea: they want you to shell out $9/day for the higher speed internet.
The room had a big-screen TV with a zillion channels.
I always tear the bed apart whenever I enter a new hotel room to make sure there aren't any bedbugs and saw no evidence, using a high-intensity LED mag-lite. The bed coverings are white too which would allow easier detection. Kudos to the management!
The bathrooms are set up so that the sink is separate from the shower/commode room. there's no ventilation fan in the bathroom, at least that worked, so the whole room got steamed if you took a hot shower and didn't immediately close the bathroom door after exiting the shower. The shower curtain was falling apart and the floor got soaked from every shower I took. A tile was missing in the bathroom. The bathtub drained slowly but was never actually stopped up. Other than these items the room was up to par and generally non-shabby.
Check-in and out was a snap.
Location is great. It's about a 10 minute to the Art Institute, and a little more to Millenium park. 
There are about 10 or 15 places to eat within a 10 minute walk, mostly on Wabash which is the next street over from Michigan away from the lake. I recommend Thai Spoon at 601 S. Wabash and 11 City Diner at 1112 S. Wabash, the later for a New York Jewish Deli experience.
I didn't avail myself of the shuttle service they have or use the athletic facilities or the pool.
All-in-all, a good value for the locale. Just don't expect the Ritz.
