It's a nice location, but perhaps a bit overpriced. Our room was fine - not great, just "fine." Why on earth they would put the expensive suites closest to the noisy train is beyond me... Get a river view if you can to be away from the train. Next time we'll go back to the Kimpton Palomar where we stayed last year, it was a much nicer experience.
Positives: Good location, and reasonably friendly staff.
Negatives: Expensive room faced a noisy train, and no pool.

Very elegant, clean, well-appointed. Staff was very kind and accomodating. Restaurant offered great options for food and drink. Easy in and out for valet. Great location.
Positives: The staff was very accomodating/inviting. We missed the welcome cocktail hour so they gave us a complimentary drink at the restaurant bar. Nice!
Negatives: Extending the morning coffee service on New Year's day would have been a plus since a 10 a.m. Stop was early!

Negatives: Incorrect/Incomplete information from concierge.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 13 Aug 2009 rated 8 out of 10.
The hotel Monaco provided a great stay in the heart of Chicago. I'd have a tough time justifying full price for this hotel but the Priceline negotiated price served me quite well.
Positives: Very convenient location. Clean rooms and friendly staff.
Negatives: Amenities felt stripped down. The business center was overpriced.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 May 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 03 Sep 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
