Looks nice but needs better housekeeping

Room wasn’t very clean when we checked in still had food in the fridge from the last people. Went to get ice from the ice machine room and it reeked like urine, there was a garbage can full of used tampons on the ground in the ice maker room.

Friendly staff, but upkeep needs attention.

The staff was very friendly and nice. The bedroom was standard, and the beds were comfortable. However, the ice machine on our floor was broken the entire time, so we had to go to the floor above us. Our phone's preset buttons to call the front desk, room service, etc, were also not correct. I also paid extra for the lakeside view, but we were on the ninth floor (still a nice view, but another guest made fun of us for only being on the ninth. Thanks, guy), and our window was extremely dirty. So much so, my phone had a hard time focusing on the view when trying to take a photo (see attached)

The staff was good, the reason I would give 3 stars cause of cleanliness. The shower sewer was almost fully clogged. The nightstands were dirty. Also they could do a better maintenance to walls , they start to break. The breakfast was ok, didn't have many options, just picked from the menu, it wasn't an open buffet.

Great view requiring some patience

Great view on lake side. Close walk to Navy Pier which was great. Most of staff friendly. Downside was waiting at night for elevators. Crowds would gather. Tried early check in my room still wasn't ready at 6pm so they gave me a different room. Overall I'd stay at that location again though.
