We stayed at here for 2 nights June 28-30th, 2008. Our flight was delayed and we arrived close to midnight. The valet, while expensive at $38/day, was outside immediately unloading our bags and getting us into the hotel. We absolultely got our money's worth getting the car in and out many, many times over our stay.

The check-in was easy especially considering the hour and we got our extra cot with no problem.

The hotel does not have a restaurant which isn't really a problem in Chicago. We ordered carry out from the Italian Village across the street the first night - highly recommended. The next night we got food from Miller's Pub, a short walk down and around the block; good food there too. We ate lunch at Pizzeria Uno's which was fantastic even with a 1 hour wait time at 2pm in the afternoon.

Breakfast was included and was fine - standard microwaved egg patties, bisquits, yogurt, cereals. The best part was the choice in 4 juices and the strong coffee they brewed.

The room was large and clean and for $169 a night in the middle of the summer - fantastic!

Stayed for one night on June 7, 2008. Booked hotel with reward stay points. Everything about the hotel itself was great - comfortable bed, nice TV, very clean and modern bathroom. Only complaint is the valet parking....assuming they are partnered with the hotel because they operate for the theatre next door as well. We paid the 38 dollars a night since we didn't have to pay for the hotel but I would recommend finding a self-park garage - even the one they use! We waited for 45 minutes upon check-out for our car because apparently they didn't know in which spot they originally parked it in! Although they were very nice, but not too organized.

I was very pleased with my stay. The room was nicely decorated with my favorite colors (burnt orange and brown :-) There was a big flat screen t.v. in the room, large shower, hair dryer, amenities (soap, lotion, shampoo, mouth wash, etc.) The loby is located on the fourth floor, which is also where breakfast is served. I made it to the hotel about 9:30 and had to come back around 1:00 due to no rooms being ready. But they will allow you to store your bags there til you come back. That was o.k. with me, it gives you time to look around. The hotel is in a great location, near everything.

I would return!

I stayed here for 2 nights recently and would recommend it to anybody. The rooms are good and the windows have decent black-out curtains. The staff were helpful and a decent breakfast is included...

A real bargain..
