    I don’t know if this is normal but u can always hear the elevator all night long going up and down, Beds are hard, not my ting

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    The stay was great, but there was small inconvenience/issue with the front desk. The issue was resolved but didn’t receive an apology or sorry for the inconvenience that was caused by the hotel. The front desk Individual was rude and attempted to charge me extra. We had a hard time getting into the room with faulty keys, but otherwise the stay was great. Hopes this helps.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    It's just hilarious that you have to listen to the elevators woosh down during your entire stay.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    The desk staff were helpful. The room was comfortable and the lakeside view was beautiful. It is very close to Navy Pier and walkable to the river and other downtown sightseeing spots. The driveway for drop offs was confusing when it was busy. Three access points with no directional signs.

    The location and the lake view. The extra security lock on the door didn't work. The overall faculty was worn down and scuffed and dented furniture, walls and doors.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    The service was great. We arrived from a red eye around 7am to drop our luggage off at the bag check. Kuek at the front desk was great help. He checked to see if our room was ready and it was. He gave us an early check in. Location is great. Short walks to bus stops or train stops
