5/5 Excellent

Travelled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great price, great location, staff was very nice. Hallways/elevator were warm and humid, AC is noisy, but that's not a huge deal. Area is loud too, but it's River North so you should expect that. Parking spots/garage are kinda tight. Overall, exactly what we needed and we were very happy with our stay.
