Cons

“This property strikes me as a solid choice for visitors seeking a blend of modern style and a prime location near Grant Park. While some may find the rooms compact, the tech upgrades, like Bluetooth mirrors, are a welcome touch, and it stands out for its friendly service. I think it is a particularly good option for couples or vacationers looking for a well-situated base to explore Chicago's cultural attractions.”
