Pros

Located at the intersection of Saint Clair and Ontario in vibrant Streeterville

Artisan lobby coffee bar serves exclusive Julius Meinl Vienna coffee

Pet-friendly rooms accommodate up to two pets

Valet parking available with in/out privileges

Cons

Some rooms lack microwaves and mini-refrigerators

No on-site meeting spaces available

“Location is undeniably the strongest asset, placing guests steps from the Magnificent Mile. I noted that its smaller, historic structure houses art-inspired decor, along with practical amenities such as a craft coffee bar. For a centrally located stay with character, it's a reasonable choice.”
