Prepaid breakfast is a scam. $25 per day per person but you’re given a voucher (if check in even remembers to do that, which they didn’t for us) limited to a subset of the regular menu of about 8 items (each which retails about $15), from which you choose one and one drink - eg you get a juice but not coffee; and a yogurt but no eggs. The service is also incredibly slow despite being empty most days. Had to wipe down our own table even though there were only two other guests there. On busy days expect to wait in line quite a while to get a seat. Overall the prepaid meal is absolutely not worth it. This ‘bait and switch’ with the breakfast alone made the hotel stay very unsatisfactory.

We had a difficult time with the check in process as I had filled a form out for my card to be charged before our arrival. I gave a different card for the incidental charges when we arrive and I was charged a second time for our entire stay. The hotel did offer us room service credit and the limited breakfast each day we were there to make up for the inconvenience. The breakfast was not good and had hair in it one morning. The food was not the best. We had a room overlooking the lake and that was nice. Housekeeping was great some days and not on other days. The hotel is located in a good area. They did credit my card back but it took several days to be receive that and our trip was almost over. We would stay somewhere else next time we are in Chicago.

This hotel used to be a W property. Definitely has that feel. Was here with coworkers and industry colleagues for a conference. Staff were professional, and there was a decent bar in the lobby with perfectly good food.
