Was in Chicago for a day of business earlier this month. Found a good promotion on Trip Advisor for this hotel and booked a one night stay. The hotel is a former college dorm, but is located right on Michigan Avenue off Wacker. Excellent location. I arrived early and was checked right in. I was given an upgrade to a two bedroom suite on a high floor. The suite was huge. Besides the two bedrooms, it also had a full kitchen, two full baths, a dining room, a living room and a balcony. The views from my room were amazing. I wish I was able to spend more time in my room! The next morning the hotel provides a full American buffet breakfast in their lobby. It was very plentiful. Much more so than other chains that provide breakfast. The staff was very friendly. Always smiling and helpful.
The only problem I encountered was when I returned at night to go to bed. It was about 30 degrees that night and though the heat was great in the living room, kitchen and dining room, it didn't work its way down the hall to the bedrooms. They were very cold. I had to get out the extra blanket from the guest bedroom and wear clothes and socks to bed. In the morning, I had to move all my things into the family room to avoid being in the icebox. I called downstairs at night to see if I was missing a separate heating unit for the bedrooms, but was told I wasn't.
I really liked this hotel, but I think I would only come back in the warmer months.
