Unless you are staying at the property for a convention I wouldn't recommend it.
The lobby area is fantastic. The guestrooms are outdated. I would not recommend this property to those who are not there for a convention. The property sits far off from all the "action" of Chicago so if you are into walking to the attractions, this hotel is not that convienient. My experience wasn't horrible that I wouldn't stay there again, I just feel there are better situated properties that are not as outdated.
