Stayed for three nights with the UIC rate ($169/night).
The good:
+ Comfortable, clean, spacious room
+ Conveniently located to UIC and 5 minutes from Taylor street (lots of restaurant options)
+ Friendly staff
+ Reasonable fitness room - ~6 pieces of cardio equipment and free weights with one bench
+ Reasonably priced restaurant with good selection of options (for a hotel)
The bad:
+ Internet was wireless only and was not free - Marriott needs to differentiate itself by making this free across all of its brands. Internet access is now no longer the "novelty" it was two decades ago!
+ No ability to turn up the heat - choice was either Air Conditioning (very cold) or no fan. I went with the latter...
