Great location, historic property
We wanted to spend a couple of days seeing the sites in Chicago. This hotel proved to be an excellent location at a good price. We love historic buildings transformed into nice places to stay. The doorman who greeted us was over the top friendly and helpful. He also served as concierge with great tips on restaurants, sites, in town transportation and more. He really made us feel at home. 
The room was small but very nice. The toiletries were quality, the bed was comfortable, the view was good (wish I was a few floors higher). They have a restaurant which seems to be nice, but we opted for neighborhood italian restaurants. Got a stuffed pizza about four blocks away that was fantastic. Greg the doorman advised we get some flavored popcorn at a place along the way as a snack while waiting for the pizza. It was great! 
There is a convenient pharmacy around the corner to buy day passes on the metro - definitely worth the money. The metro and buses are nearby as is the famous fountain, museums and Lake Michigan. The Magnificent Mile was a short bus ride away, as was Millenium Park. All in all this was a great jumping off point.
