Reviews
Lobby is the best part of the hotel look and feel. Room hallways are very dark.
We also had elevator noise in the room we were in. It was quite loud. All in all, just a building that needs a little love and $ to charge 4⭐️ rates.
We had a great time in Chi-town though!
First off, I did not receive an upgraded room for my birthday nor anything special and as a Marriott high level member this was a bit disappointing. First time this has happened but whatever.
The entrance is pretty nice but that’s really it. The room itself is beaten up covered with ‘nice’ furniture to hide all the issues. There is no hot water machine either which is the least they can do but oh well, can’t even provide free tea or coffee. The drawers were completely broken, the tv could only get a few channels as the rest had really bad connection (no dish like the courtyard so you can’t stream Netflix btw), and on top of that wifi is not free lol.
The only pros I would give is that the rooms were pretty quiet, room service left new water bottles everyday and the location is right next to the pier. I would only stay here as a last resort compared to other 4 star hotels.
The restaurants within the hotel were nice as well but I don’t really care for these when my room is giving motel 6 lol. I guess all the budget went to everything else but the room. Bleh.
