"Amazing. Historic. Glamorous."

I stayed here for Lollapalooza and had the BEST time. I’m a 25 year old female and I stayed alone in the room. The hotel felt so glamorous, chic, and clean. They gave me an executive room on the top floor with the view of the lake. The rooms were clean and comfortable and all of the hotel employees were attentive and lightning fast. It was such a beautiful, historic hotel and I had the best experience. Very walkable safe part of town. Would totally stay here again when I come in September.

Beautiful hotel, excellent convenient location walking distance to many places of interest! Some things were a little old like the plumbing but they rapidly fixed what they could when I raised a concern. Overall very clean, friendly. Lovely inside. It was also a great location and venue for a meeting!
