Pros (+) Amazing room and such a friendly and helpful staff.
Cons (-) I wish they would offer a breakfast package or include a complementary breakfast offer especially for Marriott elite status members.
Pros (+) Nothing, I would not recommend this hotel at all!
Cons (-) The room was not ready when check in, had to wait for 2 more hrs. As a gold member of SPG we were expected to be upgraded, but they just gave us the wrost room type. it’s very small and the window facing a feaking wall, make me feel like the whole room would had no window. Not only this, the pillow has a strong smell and I could not use it at all for the whole night. The front desk Staff was not f...

Pros (+) Communications or user error between kayak and the hotel accidentally booked us a two bed room instead of a 1 king bed room. The staff did not question this mistake (be it my fault or kayak’s) and upgraded us to a king room with a view of Love Park. Btw this place has great views of Love Park, and Court House Square. Good water pressure, good HVAC, good atmosphere, and the rooms are very roomy for...
Cons (-) I did not like paying for parking, but there is NO FREE PARKING anywhere within City Center. Their parking fees were some of the lowest in the city, and the valet was included. The mini fridge food/drinks were high but, neither of these would stop me from staying here again. Comparing this hotel’s (inevitable) “additional fees” to others.. I would rate them on the lower side.

Cons (-) Breakfast was included in our reservation - took almost an hour, we ended up walking out. Gathering our car from valet took a long time as well, we were told "your car is on the way" but could clearly see our keys from the pile....
Pros (+) The room was modern and aesthetically pleasing, with comfortable beds and linnens.
Cons (-) It's not a big issue, but they gave me the wrong room type, and overall there wasn't a whole lot of attention to detail.
Pros (+) Clean rooms City Hall views Lobby bar with friendly bartender Friendly and accommodating front desk staff
Cons (-) Diminutive gym Broken solar shade in room
Pros (+) Nothing
Cons (-) The valet misinformed us about the parking. They strongly recommended we pay 50$ for valet parking rather than on the street. The hotel room was not very ideal or modern for the price. The towels and bed sheets smelled as if they had not been changed or washed. The hotel did NOT provide amenities, and the shower products provided were very low quality and would not use them on my body. There are p...
