First, because of the renovations being done here there are some awesome deals available for this hotel. We took advantage of Travelzoo's $99 with free parking. With parking running about $50 at most hotels in Chicago, this deal is amazing. We upgraded to a junior suite.
The room was huge, with lots of windows, lots of bathroom space to get ready, a fridge and business area with desk.
The TV is conveniently located in the middle of the room and can be turned either towards the couch or bed.
The bathroom amenities were very nice Aveda products, and soft, plush towels.
But, there were some definite negatives, if you go here expecting perfection, you will be disappointed.
For one our furnace never worked properly, the room was freezing!! We called down, and they explained how to restart the furnace. Well, it was pretty obvious why it was not working, it was absolutely disgusting!! I do not think the filter has been changed in this century. Waking up freezing during the night to restart a furnace is in no way a plus.
This hotel is also located next door to Northwestern hospital. The constant ambulance noise even on the 14 th floor, when not waking me up, had me dreaming I was in lots of accidents.
Also, if you are on any floor above 7, which just about everyone is, means changing elevators. Hopefully after renovations this will change.
If you find a good deal on this property, go for it. Just don't expect perfection.
