We booked this room to watch the 4th of July fireworks. The lake view room had a spectacular view of navy pier. The bellhop was very helpful and friendly. The hotel seems a little dated but everything seemed to function properly. Pool was nice. Short walk to navy pier. Kids had a great time. Would definitely stay again.
