I love this hotel! I have stayed here several times between 2011 and 2014, whenever I am in Chicago for business. The rates are very competitive for the location. People are right about the creep factor, it is a very old hotel and not operating at full/former capacity! So if the historical vibe doesn't work for you, you may want to look elsewhere. But, the rooms are *very* clean and I have to say that I have never had a bad experience here. I have always gotten a room with a lake view, always have good wi-fi and a good night sleep. You can even sneak around through the banquet rooms which are true gems. It's my favorite hotel in Chicago.
