Summary: My husband and I stayed here during our 72-hour trip to Chicago, and it was absolutely perfect! The location was ideal and a quick walk to everything. ALL of the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the city. We also really enjoyed the hotel bar, which had great food and strong drinks. Getting there was easy too! I called ahead and was told to take the Orange Line CTA from Midway airport to the Washington/Wabash stop and it was just about a 6–7 minute walk. I would definitely stay here again!

Summary: Great location. Got upgraded to a suite, but actually got a smaller bedroom. The suite was an exercise room, which we didn't use. Didn't try the breakfast
