The particular room we had must have been by water pipes/heater or something. We would hear water running and also hear a humming noise afterwards. This happened several times throughout the night. Overall the hotel was nice and had some really neat artwork and architecture. Very convenient location and they had live music at the bar area, so that was fun. I think we got unlucky with the specific room we had and noise.

We were in town for the Chicago Triathlon, and they gave us a late checkout to help accommodate the schedule of the event. Amazing staff and very responsive customer service (even at midnight). It's also an incredibly beautiful facility. The fitness center and pool are unbelievable. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved the location of the property. Walkable to Millennium Park and restaurants. They did a great job keeping up with towels at the pool even with it being so busy. It was a crazy weekend with the Chicago Marathon going on. We stayed on the 22nd floor in a double bed room. It was nice we could open up a window for fresh air, because the room was super small and stuffy. I appreciate the history of the building, but the room and bathroom need a major updating. Room service options were lackluster and very limited from the restaurant menu. You also couldn't get a text or alert in your room when waiting for in house restaurant dining. You just had to wait around and keep checking, even for 45 minutes. Just a little old school. The hotel itself was clean, just needs a bit of updating and better signage to let you know where things are. Very easy to get confused or turned around.

Great but not perfect.
Although the hotel is very nice and historic our room was a little run down, small, specially the bathroom. Some drawers didn't open and some outlets didn't work. The second courtain could not be raised. beds and pillows were great and also the daily room keeping.

We were able to check in early as I prepaid. The room was adequate. The bathroom was small. The building was beautiful. We had a very nice time. We felt it was a bit speedy due to the Chicago marathon going on.

Beautiful lobby. That's where the good stuff ends. Rooms are seriously dated. They do not provide any kettle or coffee making facility in the room when even simple motels provide this option. But they do have a dedicated fridge with room service options that if you touch you are automatically charged. Room service did not come one day. At check in the room had bread crumbs in the bedside table. Check in receptionist was very abrupt and rude and just wanted us to get out of her face. Unless you get the room at a serious discount, I cannot recommend this hotel
