The view from our suite was excellent, especially during a thunderstorm. We loved our stay. The only (very minor) downside was neither TV worked correctly. One had very low volume, the other had no picture but good volume. The location was very good, very easy walk to public transportation. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the A/C worked really well. The building security was Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view of Chicago city, room was clean spacious and staff were great. Very nice and helpful and area was great with food places within walking distance. For future guest, only thing I can inform is price for parking is pretty high and breakfast was not all that. Besides that we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you to front desk Joel as well for helping book our second night.
