9.4/10 Exceptional! (2,053 reviews)
This property was a great location to have access to navy pier and downtown Chicago without needing your car. The room was quite underwhelming for this pricepoint. I expect a glass drinking glass and a ceramic cup. I expect to have a bathroom with all items lotion to not smell old and have barely any in the bottle. I expect if you tell me I'm getting a complimentary $10 bottle of spring water that I'm not getting a 16 oz Dasani. I expect the drawer to close and stay closed. I expect the cooling system to function properly without being loud. I expect my parking to be included or at minimum discounted from non- guest parking. The value with this stay is mainly in the location, the view and the lovely staff, which you can find (not on the pier but near by) for a much lower price.
