I stayed at this hotel for two nights for a business trip, and transportation and the biil was taken care of, so price and location were not so much of an issue. This hotel is in Greek town and many very nice restaurants (not all of them are Greek) are very close by. However, it's not very close to the main tourist attractions in downtown Chicago.
The rooms are really nicely appointed--the furniture and decor are very up to date and very tasteful. Also, the rooms have really great desks built into the wall that have plenty of room for spreading out while you are working--I think this was probably the best hotel room desk I've encountered so far. In addition, there is not just free WiFi (which gets really slow in the evening due to all the usage) but also ethernet access (and a cable) which was incredibly useful when WiFi got to be slow. The room was very clean, where even the bedspread did not seem questionable, and the room smelled like fresh laundry. The bed was very comfortable as well.
The bathroom was also very clean and nicely arranged (lots of counter space) but one thing was that the hardware on the adjustable showerhead was either stuck or not operational at some of the joints. so the showerhead had to be pointed in this weird way for you to use it. Otherwise the bathroom was just fine.
One thing about this hotel is that it is very noisy from the highway, especially if you are not used to the traffic. My room was very high up and thus had a great view, but also experienced a lot of highway noise. The noise really is significant, so on the second night I used the earplugs that the hotel supplied, as well as a pillow over my head, and that helped quite a bit.
Other amenities include use of the exercise room which has decent equipment, and also a business center with computers and printers. Also, they give away coffee in the lobby in the morning.
The service in the hotel was excellent, and although I didn't have any problems, they seemed to be very attentive, where even the night manager left a message on the voicemail to let you know who to contact if you needed anything.
