    The room I got wasn't fully cleaned, the tub was dirty and it felt more like a basic motel bathroom, ugh. On the bright side, I really loved the delicious breakfast here! 🍳

    Clean and ideal hotel with spotless rooms. Large room with refrigerators, a view other than the HVAC plus great TV. Cozy decor throughout. Exceptional staff from the bellmen to the front desk staff and housekeepers. Great location by the Water Tower. Near the lovely Gold Coast neighborhood.

    I loved the room with a king bed, the bed was nice. The location was excellent for walking around a skyscraper observation deck. It was located in a gorgeous area near all the major highlights, and the cafe for the breakfast which is worse than school dinners.
