Summary: This was definitely the BEST location one could ask for. We felt safe and were located right on Michigan Ave. with easy access to public transportation. We didn't splurge the extra money for the lake view, but still had a glimpse from the side. It's not like we were in our rooms that much anyway, LOL! Front desk, gift shop, bell hop, and security were friendly and very helpful. Tried the restaurant for continental breakfast which was less than par. Service there was abrupt and unsmiling, to say the least and the options were extremely limited. Even the coffee seemed old. I know the historic building is going through renovations, which is great. Ours had been "renovated" but the cheap shower head which gave no pressure combined with the 1980's white IKEA like furnishings were not impressive. But again, the location is perfect!

Summary: Great hotel very centrally located to all the things we wanted to do. I would highly recommend. It’s a beautiful historic building showing a few signs of wear but clean. I would skip the bar, the taps were broken and the bar tender was rude.

Summary: The hotel was very cool. A little worn but for 120+years old it’s expected and part of the charm. The room was clean and comfortable. And the staff was friendly

Summary: Room temp was too hot, but they offered us a fan to use, which helped. Called room service and the front desk for tea bags, but told us to check with the restaurant. They didn’t have any either. Other than that it was okay and a convenient location for the football game.
