"My family and I enjoyed this hotel. The location was good, it felt like a mostly safe area (though we were approached a couple of times by people asking for money while standing out front). Valet parking at the hotel is pricey (expected in downtown Chicago), but we parked in a garage around the corner for less ($53). The happy hour was nice- limited snacks, but the complimentary drinks, 2 per evening, were appreciated! And the breakfast offerings were pretty good, but get there early! I believe it runs 6:30am-9:30am, but after 7:30-8, it gets pretty busy. The coffee was just ok, so I went to the Starbucks next door for my morning coffee fixes. My son enjoyed the pool, but it gets pretty crowded later in the evening (closes at 10pm). Plenty of elevators, never had to wait long. And the desk staff, along with the food staff, were great! Would definitely stay here again."
