We got in very early on our check in day and Jordan gave us a room right away and didn’t charge us extra. Every employee we encountered was very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was good and pool area was nice. The rooms comfortable and clean and the hotel is in a great location. We come to Chicago often and this is a first for this location but it will be our go to from now on.
