The bathroom was clean, if you notice white substance around the sinks and shower head, it is just hard water. Nothing to be alarmed about. The room is very clean and the view from the window is very nice. The room is not sound proof from the outside noises like emergency vehicle sirens or car horns, but they do have new ear plugs on the side of the bed if needed. Overall, amazing stay and it is close to most things within the city.

Beautiful property. That's well kept. Excellent staff. The room was very large, and the bathroom was huge. I would absolutely stay there again. The beds were comfortable, I really don't have any complaints. Being a few blocks off Michigan Avenue wasn't too bad. Also, pretty quiet inside considering where the hotel is.
