The location is great if you need quick access to McCormick Place. The gym is fantastic. The rooms were clean and quiet, and the beds comfortable.

    “Proximity to Marathon Expo and 3 Bus line was great, as was the food. We had excellent interactions with all of the staff. We were on the 24th floor with great views - overall, the facilities were good as well. We would definitely stay here again.”

  • Goed hotel. Management kan door onvrede aan te pakken het een tophotel maken
