    It's a very classy looking place and therefore I'm not sure if providing paper plates and plastic cutlery for breakfast is the best choice.

    We absolutely loved the view from our room, especially the night view. The room was clean, very very spacious with high ceilings and big bay windows. The bathroom had a nice big bath and we also welcomed the litlle "bar area" with tea/coffee facility in the room.

    Amazing view of the lake from our 1 bed apartment, it was so large. So nice to be able to spread out. Comfortable beds, excellent water pressure and and a proper soaking tub. Hotel is on the 40th and top floor of the building, so has only a limited number rooms and the best view. Parking is available under the building. Would highly recommend, wish we could have stayed longer!

    At the beginning A little confusión to get in and out of the hotel since the hotel is in the 40th floor of the building where are other offices which we got used to later. It is like staying at nice beautiful condo building. It is very comfortable and very quiet.

    Beautiful views,!!! very clean hotel, comfortable beds, very spacious room. We had double beds, chairs, a desk, tv, closet, mini fridge, coffee, etc. Location: close to everything in Chicago downtown. Entrance to the parking is next to the building. The hotel is on the 40th floor of the building.- views are Amazing !!! My room had big windows-top to floor- sit down on the chair and you can see Chicago downtown. At night the views are very beautiful! Their Lounge has amazing views as well. They offer coffee, water, fruits, snacks, etc. There is a lot security in the building and security guard at all times at the desk on the first floor. I highly recommend this hotel.

    The breakfast was quite ascetic. I would add some sliced meat and cheese just not to have all things sweet.

    The hotel is perfectly located if you want to spend time in the Loop. The view from the room and the breakfast lounge is breathtaking. The staff was very helpful.

    The hotel website was misleading, stating there was a bar/restaurant at the hotel.

    The room was very spacious and had a beautiful view of the city from the big windows!!

    Breakfast is continental only and therefore is all about sugar sugar sugar; there are processed sweets, super sugary yogurts, fake jams and sugary cereals. I hope they will reconsider this choice.

    Perfect location, elegant building, very quiet and spacious room. Amazing views from each room, breathtaking sights of Chicago buildings and lake. I would totally stay again.

    We were upgraded to a lake-view room, and the view was exceptional. The hotel is within walking distance to major Chicago attractions. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    I was upgraded to a lake view and it was GORGEOUS. The view from the guest lobby was beautiful as well. A lot of reviews mentioned it was difficult to get to, but it really wasn't. If you're an experienced traveler and/or can read signs, this place is a gem. My room was very spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was awesome. This may have been the safest hotel I've ever stayed in given it's location inside of the financial building. When returning to Chicago, I will very likely stay here again.

    The hotel was a little difficult to find. If there were a sign near the entrance to CBOE or on Van Buren that would have probably saved me 15 minutes of walking around.

    Location is excellent. It is very close to Union Station, the El, and the blue line
