Very loud during the night ( we were on 2nd floor). Hard to sleep. Nice room, but hard to block out street noise and air conditioning.

Got an email stating they were oversold for the night and it was our responsibility to call them to confirm our stay. Hotel room didn’t have a working fridge. Sound proofing poor with outside sirens and car noises coming though. Neighbors partied till 5am with loud chatting and barking dogs.

I loved the staff! At check in and check out, they were really helpful. It’s super convenient and quick walk from CVS, Magnificent Mile and lots of restaurants. It’s also a 10 minute walk from the blue line which takes you right to the airport

Great location, clean rooms and friendly staff. You can’t go wrong with this location as everything is within walking distance, restaurants bars, anything really. It’s connected to a Beatrix, which has great food and drinks. The only downside are the occasional ambulances nearby but the locationvmakes up for that.

Staff at Beatrix which was the restaurant inside the hotel was rude. $236 for one night for a room, & you don’t even get breakfast. Definitely not high end

The carpet in the room was surprisingly worn. There was one bottle of water that I wasn't sure was left by the hotel or the previous occupant. One of the channels on the TV didn't come in even though it was on the guide (We didn't spend a lot of time in the room but we did want to relax at night watching some TV. The room was much smaller than anticipated but it is called "Aloft", it was a loft area.
