    spacious room
    attentive staff
    loud plumbing
    thin walls
    difficult for light sleepers

    The spacious King Guest Room was a highlight, featuring a large bathroom with beautiful design and a modern aesthetic. The staff were consistently pleasant and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. However, the loud plumbing from neighboring rooms was a noticeable disruption, particularly in the early morning. While the modern decor added charm, the thin walls could pose a challenge for light sleepers. Additionally, easy access to nearby attractions was a big plus.

    spacious room
    family-friendly facility
    limited snacks

    We enjoyed a fantastic family trip that included visits to the Shedd Aquarium. The kids loved seeing the dolphins up close, and the hotel's location made it super easy to get there. Our king room was spacious and comfortable, perfect for our family needs.

    My kids wished there were more variety in the club level snacks and drinks, especially for the price we paid. A kids' menu would be a great addition to improve the experience for families.

    The historic charm of the Autograph Collection was captivating, with elegant decor and the perfect balance of modern amenities that made our stay delightful.

    More comfortable seating in common areas would help seniors.

    The spa treatments were so relaxing, and the outdoor pool area was perfect for unwinding. However, I was disappointed by the charge for Wi-Fi. it would have been nice for it to be complimentary. 😊

    vibrant atmosphere
    limited seating

    I found the Autograph Collection good, blending historic charm with modern comforts. The vibrant atmosphere and unique art collection captivated me as an art historian. I did notice the limited seating in common areas, slightly hindering relaxation. Still, an enriching experience overall.

    Great vibe and comfy!

    Really loved the ambiance here! The bar was super nice, perfect place for drinks. Our bartender was so friendly. The room was comfy and check-in was a breeze. Just wish the pricing was a bit better, felt a bit on the higher side for the time we spent in the room.

    dining experience
    craft cocktails
    local cuisine
    worn towels
    broken tv

    I enjoyed my recent stay. The dining experience was memorable. I grabbed dinner at a lovely restaurant and found it to be a highlight of my trip. The bar in the hotel offered a nice selection of craft cocktails that I savored. Although I was there to unwind, it also gave me a taste of local cuisine, which I appreciated.

    I encountered some issues during my stay. The towels were not up to par, feeling worn. The TV in the bathroom did not work, which was a bit disappointing. I had hoped for more attention to detail in the room's amenities.
