My friend and I loved this hotel! I was a bit wear...

My friend and I loved this hotel! I was a bit weary to stay here based on ppls reviews. we stayed in a corner room with two full beds. It was spacious, clean and comfortable! We had two windows....one facing a building but if you look a bit to the side you could get a lakeview :) and out the other window there was a beautiful city view!! The hotel fulfilled all my previously made (I recommend making requests directly after booking) requests of a fridge, upper floor, room with a view etc... I didn't even book the hotel directly I booked it through expedia and also we got a bargain price (so i know it wasn't because we were paying any extra).

The staff were always friendly and professional. One morning we had slept in so the maids didn't get to our room. When we saw in the evening that it hadn't been cleaned we called the front desk they sent someone up immediately (they were there in 5mins or less)! We stored our bags on our last day after checking out and they have a room just for that with a security guard watching them. Make sure you checkout the gold room when you are there if you are into history and architecture. A security guard took us up there and opened the room just for us to see it and take pics. Probably one of my best memories from my chicago trip.

Pros: safe area, clean, comfortable, bargain price, historic, perfect location!!, service with a smile!

Cons: Rooms smell a bit musty and old as older places do (cracking the windows helps). Can be a bit spooky (for those easily spooked) walking around in a hallway at night considering its haunted history.
