    good stay but needs better room upkeep

    The staff truly shine with their friendliness and willingness to assist. The comfortable bed made our nights restful, allowing us to recharge after busy days.

    The room showed signs of wear and tear, needing better upkeep.

    indoor pool
    stunning city view

    The indoor pool on the 17th floor was sparkling and perfect for a quick dip after a long day. The city view from the room was stunning and spacious, truly a highlight of our stay!

    Felt like being home, no reason to complain.

    positive energy
    rooftop patio

    Ideal for a group getaway

    The staff were like family, Gabby brought so much positive energy, always had great recommendations for us, and the rooftop was a real gem. All mornings started right with coffee and evenings wound down with cocktails at the bar on point!

    Wasn't cheap, but you pay for the experience.

    great access to major attractions for city explorers

    I enjoyed my stay, especially the wonderful central access to the Riverwalk, which is just a short stroll away, and the quick walk to the famous Chicago Theatre, where I caught an amazing show in the evening. this hotel's prime location made my weekend explorations effortless and really enjoyable.

    real bath

    The room was really spacious with a lovely view of the city. The bathroom had everything I needed, and I loved being able to soak in a real bath. It felt like a nice escape! Overall, it was quiet enough to sleep well at night too.

    high shower curtain

    The rooftop terrace offered a stunning view of the city skyline!

    The shower curtain was installed too high, making it a bit inconvenient.

    delicious dinner
    excellent staff
    great location
    excessive fees
    pricey city

    Man, that Manchego ratatouille at Sable was a baaad dream – so rich and full of flavor! Plus, the location is on point, just a hop from The Purple Pig and Joe's Seafood. The staff? Straight-up pros who made everything flow seamlessly. 10/10 service!

    But let's be real, Chicago's prices are no walk in the park, especially with that hospitality fee that felt like a sneaky extra charge on top of the room rate. Still, can't deny the charm around every corner!

    wine hour
    breakfast spread
    spa services
    small coffee cups

    Had an awesome time chilling by the fireplace during wine hour and enjoying a delicious breakfast spread. Felt super relaxed with the pool area and spa services available, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The only bummer was the small coffee cups offered in the morning, but that didn’t ruin my vibe. 😊
