Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North
Breakfast and happy hour was nice. Air conditioning was awful. The room was hotttt and on the lowest temp. The pool is way too small for that place. Be prepared to pay $100 PER DAY DEPOSIT and a $79 PER DAY VALET PARKING. Those were totally unexpected to us.

Aloft Chicago Mag Mile
We pre-purchased the breakfast, but the options that they had were limited and overpriced. Everything was premade and frozen.. If we knew beforehand what was offered, we wouldn’t have purchased that.
