Good value, great location
This hotel offers an excellent home base from which to explore downtown Chicago. 1 block off Michigan Ave and very close to all the restaurants on State Street. Easy walking distance to all downtown shops and attractions. Did not need a vehicle. We stayed on a Saturday night and did get some noise from the street. Nothing outrageous, after all this is downtown in a big city. Rooms are clean and functional although a bit dated. I believe renovations are scheduled in the near future. Staff is knowledgeable and very helpful.
Note, this hotel does not supply in-room coffee makers. Your choice is room service ($) or a hike down to the lobby for a complementary cup of joe.
We booked through Hotwire, paid less than half of what you would pay at other top brand downtown hotels. Solid value, we will definitely stay there again next visit to the windy city.
