LOVE this hotel. From now on, when I'm in Chicago this is my place. It’s an older hotel, and quirky boutiquey, and I mean that in a good way. The room was fabulous. My 8 year old walked into our room and said, Fancy! The decor and furnishing are great. I was concerned when I found out it was pet-friendly, but I never saw, heard, or smelled a pet the entire stay. And I can't say enough about how friendly and helpful the staff is. Do yourself a favor and stay at this hotel.
Positives: Friendliest staff ever, by far. Every person we met was great.
Negatives: Can hear a fair amount of street noise in your room.
