"Good place"

I was a little surprised that the valet prices went up from fifty a night to seventy five a night without any advance notice. My room was quite warm and I could not cool it off, but at least they provided me a fan. So I appreciated that. All in all, I was happy. I usually am, and that is why we have returned a dozen times.

Perfect location at the corner of Wacker Drive and Michigan Avenue. Easy walk to millennium Park, Buckingham fountain, and the miracle mile. Easy check in. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful or nicer. The room was pleasant. Bedding was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. I highly recommend.

"Terrible experience no air conditioning. Priceline only offered 15% on next trip"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5

Terrible experience. The air conditioner did not work. it was so hot all night. My girlfriend was miserable and could not sleep. The windows didn't open.. I was told parking was 3 blocks away for $30. It was 6 blocks total and cost $65. Shop with hotels direct. They can help with bad experience. Like switching rooms. Priceline was worthless and only offered 15% discount on next trip.
