The room which is a basic room, (1 bed , 1 desk and chair, nightstand, bathroom) was very clean. I just needed somewhere to crash at night after my meetings in the day. Nicely located by Magnificent Mile.

Staff was very courteous. Only issue was the parking to drop off bags. There was none as the other hotels valet would not let you pull up any place near them and we had no valet and cars were just parked where we were to drop off valet even though they weren’t suppose to be. Hut would definitely stay here again!

Clean, great linens and good towels. Comfortable bed and great view of the rever through a side window. Small room (like Paris) but the price and location is right. No restaurant but one next door and lots around. Attentive staff. I will be back!!!
