Beautiful views.
Checked in 2pm because that’s what the email said. But when we checked in we were told we could have checked in at 11am. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time because we were exhausted from traveling and had to kill time. Bed was comfortable, tub was large. Baseboards should be cleaned more frequently. Would stay again next time we’re in Chicago.

excellent service, convenient location
The site manager was kind and helpful. He was quick to respond to our request (locked out/in, totally our fault) and also called me about a small bag my wife left in the room after checkout. I liked the suite and a twin bedroom next to each other so our family enjoyed connecting rooms like setting. Splendid views from 40th floor. A block to L trains as well as commuter trains to southwest of Chicago. I would like to stay there again on my next trip to Chicago on business or pleasure and would try their gym and swimming pool next time.

This hotel it’s located inside an office building all the way to the top floor! Views are amazing, not you’re typical hotel vibes, location it’s the main reason I stayed here, within 10 minutes of walking distance from DePaul University Center, which worked out great for my son’s moving into his dorm!

The hotel is very nice and quiet. It is very secure. The only downside is how difficult it is to actually get to the hotel. Once you get the hang of it, it does become much easier. There are multiple elevators involved and getting down to the parking garage is a bit of a hassle as well. The breakfast was a little disappointing. Just cold cereals and such. The bed was extremely comfortable, especially the pillows. Great toiletry products. The view was absolutely amazing. The only issue really was getting into the hotel for the very first time.

Excellent Hotel, Great Stay
We had a great stay. Our view was fantastic and the suite was huge and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Staying at this hotel is complicated slightly by the number of elevator transfers and key card swipes you need to make to access the hotel floor or reach the garage, but it's all worth it. The location is great, the rooms are secure, parking was plentiful and we would stay there again.

A couple of things to comment on are: The bathroom tubs were very high and the tub seemed slippery when getting into the tub. Having to take the elevator to one floor and having to get off to take another one up another floor was a bit getting used to but afterwards it didn’t seem to be a problem.
