Extremely peaceful & convenient.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Great location. Beautiful hotel, friendly staff andquiet rooms.

Date of Stay: August, 2008

The location is very convient. It's only 3 block to walk to Millennium Park. And CTA red line just located in back door of hotel. The hotel's staffs are very nice. We arrived there before 12:00pm, and they let us check in. And we also ask them to give us higher floor, they gave us too. We appreciate their help. And room is very clean and comfortable. We got best price in travelocity websit compare with other travel website. We will stay there again if we go to Chicago. Nice experience.

Date of Stay: June, 2008

I am a "road warrior" Platinum Member of Marriott and Diamond Member of Hyatt. This property won as the best city Renaissance in the country for 2007. The location is the best in Chicago. The views of the river, Trump tower, and Wrigley Building are fabulous. The rooms are old elegant with great beds, writing desks and bathrooms that have first class amenities including high end make up mirrors, separate showers and tubs. They even will shine your shoes in minutes, delivered in a beautiful metal basket with tissue, for free 24 hours a day. The work out area is top of the line with sauna and steam. The indoor pool with skylight over the pool is my favorite anywhere I travel. I find the service overall comparable to the Park Hyatt or other 4 and 5 star properties. I have stayed here at least 15 times over the last 3 years. It is quite simply my #1 choice to stay in Chicago, period.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
The hotel is centrally located - everything within walking distance. Several places to eat and shop. Fabulous views!! Overall perfect place to stay.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Clean, beautiful, comfortable. Staff could have been more friendly. Beautiful, well worth the price we paid on Priceline.

Date of Stay: April, 2008

It's a nice place, good view of the canal if you pay extra. we ordered breakfast twice - it wasn't all bad but we've had better. the hot air thermostat in the room wasn't working properly, there weren't any hangers in the bathroom to hang the towels and the bathrobe had holes in it. if you don't bring your laptop you won't be able to connect with what they provide because the cables were missing. the staff is very helpful and there is Starbucks in the lobby.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
The trip was awesome and I am ready to move to Chicago just as soon as they change their winters. The hotel was better than I thought it would be. Definitely upscale and what a great value for the money. I will stay again on my next trip and tell all of my friends.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Location, comfortable bed, large bathroom very clean. No vending machines, had to pay for in room snacks cost more. Very nice hotel would definitely stay there again and recommend to a friend. Great location.

Date of Stay: November, 2007

My husband and I had a very upsetting experience at your hotel today. I booked a room for my husband and me to celebrate his birthday and was told that my room would include a hot tub and separate shower as well as Champaign and Strawberries. When we entered the room, not only did we not have the hot tub and separate shower, we didn't have the champagne or strawberries either. I contacted the front desk to complain and was told they would upgrade my room for no extra charge, but when I entered the new room I found that, while the room had a separate shower, it still didn't have a hot tub. I traveled 2 hours for this hotel stay, and not to mention I planned this night for my husband?s birthday, which was ruined. This hotel was chosen because I was told that it had a hot tub and separate shower. When I called the front desk and reservations I was told multiple times that it was nothing they could do for me. I was treated very poorly by reservations and as far as the front desk; they acted like the only people that could help me was reservations which reservations told me that was not the case. So not only did I not get the room I was promised, I wasted 2 hours on the phone going back and forth from the front desk to reservations. Unfortunately, due to the situation and the way we were being treated, I ended up cancelling my reservations and headed back home for another 2 hour ride.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Great location- front desk folks were extremely helpful with an early check-in, directions and suggestions.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

Great location, very clean, excellent customer service & smoke free. Had to pay for parking. No free in-room internet. TV reception was horrible. This was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The location was great. The hotel was very classy and the lobby was extremely clean and eye-popping. The hotel room was clean, tidy and the bed was very comfortable. A couple things I did not like: Had to pay $49 per night for parking and in-room internet was not free. If I had to pay full price for this room, I would've been highly disappointed. However, for the price I paid, it was worth it.

Date of Stay: July, 2007

Was TERRIBLY disappointed! We stay at 4-star properties all the time, and this is definitely NOT comparable. Scratchy towels in bathroom. Room was TINY. Water pressure in shower was a dribble. Housekeeping was awful. Concierge was USELESS for even basic questions. Room service was painfully slow & then left items off of our "package" breakfast that we picked from their menu. Shower is in same room as toilet & sink like a cheap motel. Front desk was very understaffed. Maps at concierge were black & white copies from a copy machine & small print does not copy well. When trying to call room service, line rang & rang, then transferred to hotel operator, who transferred us back to room service where it rang & rang again, and then disconnected me. I called back, and after 6 or 7 rings, they finally picked up--but food was delivered after 45 minutes, despite hotel's "25 minutes" policy.On the plus side however, the bell desk & doormen were top-notch with baggage storage, hailing cabs, opening doors, etc.If you are looking for excellent service and have 4-star expectations, this is NOT the place to stay. If you are looking for an adequate experience in Chicago, this is a great location on the river.

	Date of Stay: September, 2008
Great room, terrific location, nice linens and bath products. Overall, we felt it was a good value for the money.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Awesome location in Chicago and close to everything!

Date of Stay: May, 2007

I got an INCREDIBLE deal from priceline. I spent about *for this *+ room per night so that in itself was heaven. My view was one of the most breathtaking, the Chicago River sparkled just below my window, the skyline and myriad architecture rose like an concrete sculpture lit at night by streetlamp and the soft glow of rooms lit across the skyline. Room service, I spoiled myself, was exceptional. The beds were simply regal with down comforters and pillows. The shower was fit for a star, marble with double sink as I recall and glass shower. Internet access in my room through remote. A lovely desk to write cards and watch the view. The staff were so accomodating and treated me like I was an ambassador from a neighboring country. No I'm not kidding. This was truly a grand visit. I went to my sister's graduation for her master's at Art Institute. She stayed one of the nights and we talked until late hours, watching the night life like to ravens in our nest. What could be better. Simply nothing!

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Staff was friendly, hotel was clean. It was excellent. Price of parking, the daily charge for internet and no break for being there 6 days. It was excellent. I would stay there again. I am happy that I found a parking lot (1.1 mile away) that only changed $25 per day.

"The room's are nice, living room, kitchen, bedroom. TV too small in bedroom. Bathroom: a tub shower in long hallway of a bathroom, very small area for applying makeup, heating curling iron, etc. Was ok for 1 night stay."
