Great location
We changed hotels at the last minute because of the health issues at the JW Marriott. The Marriott operator lead us to believe we could have a waterfront room, on a high floor, possibly a suite due to the problem at the JW. Sorry to say, that did not happen. We received a room facing an alley on the 9th floor. So much for being a Marriott Elite member! The hotel was packed but we were checked in fairly quickly. Our room was clean and comfortable and housekeeping staff was wonderful. The restaurant has a lovely view and an outstanding breakfast buffet. The bar in the lobby is a great spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. The hotel is located across from the river and close to all that downtown Chicago has to offer. We were able to walk everywhere and take in most of the sights. We would return.
