Overall, nice. But, the noise is too much from State Street. Must provide white noise option on fan or something. Make the windows thicker.
Positives: Convenient to downtown restaurants, stores, etc.
Negatives: State street is too loud. Better windows are needed to hide the loud traffic is on State Street. Also, include a white noise machine for this reason.

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at this hotel and really enjoyed our stay. It's quite conveniently located for sight-seeing & dining in Chicago, and the room itself was very nice. Rooms are clean and spacious with plenty of space for unpacking. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was perfect. Also, the hotel was very quiet, and the staff we dealt with were helpful & courteous. Highly recommended!
Positives: Spacious room with a very comfortable bed and nice shower.
Negatives: The only breakfast option was rather high-priced.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 31 Jul 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Nice hotel. My two complaints regarding things that affected my sleep. 1. The hotel is across from a couple of busy bars and there were loud people exiting the bars at wee hours. 2. The bed had a sheet and then a heavy comforter. It was too cold for just he sheet and not cold enough for the heavy comforter. Wish there was a thinner blanket. I ended up just cranking up the AC and using the comforter, which is not the greenest thing to do.
Positives: Clean room, good location.
Negatives: It's near some bars, which at wee hours produced some noisy drunks.
