All the staff members were incredibly kind and helpful! The front desk allowed us to check in early and check out late, which we greatly appreciate! I want to shout out Alicia, who managed the breakfast buffet, for being the kindest to my family and myself! Our room was large and comfortable, and we had no issues with our room during our stay. We will definitely come back next time we’re in Chicago!

Our room was ready early which is always nice to beat the afternoon traffic. Good distance from the city to where it’s not as busy and loud but still gives you the city feel. 10 minute uber drive, all in all a great location, very clean!
