Asked about early check in. They said they had rooms available. Started process and then was made aware there was a $50 charge for early check in. If the rooms are sitting there empty and I can check in in 3-4 hours with no charge why not just check us in early without an additional charge?

Pick this one!
I really enjoyed my stay. The front desk staff was super friendly and the hotel is very clean and updated but still has a lot of charm- I loved the furnishings! Additionally, I loved the toiletries but they only provided one set of bar soap/lotion (I stayed for three days) so be aware.

Great view of the river
Clean, friendly service with a wonderful view of the river. The pillows were very comfortable, but the bed was a bit firm. It did bother my hip a little. However. I would definitely stay again!

A good choice for the Chicago Marathon
Very nice stay in connection to running the Chicago Marathon. Very near the start and finish of that marathon which is a big plus. Snacks provided by the hotel on the morning of the race was also a very nive and appreciated touch. Room spacious and amazing view to the river. Then why only 4 stars instead of 5? Two reasons for that: In the room there is a coffeemaker…but nothing for teadrinkers. I have never stayed in a hotel where there have only been one option and not the other. Being a teadrinker and not a coffedrinker, this is a letdown. We stayed in 1201 which is right next to the elevator, like right next to. The dings of the elevator were very loud, and were impossible not to notice, both awake and during the night.
