Overall Score5.0/ 5
The room was affordable and clean. I was impressed with how clean it was. The staff was great, especially the guys at the door. I had breakfast in the restaurant downstairs and had the best omelet of my life! The hotel is in a nice area, close to transit stops, shopping and the water. The 151 bus picks you up across the street and takes you to all the touristy spots. They gave free water bottles and as much coffee as I wanted to make in my room. I unfortunately didn't make it to the martini bar but the guests there seemed to be having a great time. If I make it back to Chicago I will book there again.
