"Great location, nice but dated hotel"

8.0

Stayed here for few days while attending a conference near Willis Tower. Easy walk over there, as well as to Millennium Park. As a solo female, I felt very safe in the area, even walking around at night! There are plenty of other people out and about, which helps. The hotel itself is decent--it feels elegant and vintage in the lobby. Walking over to the elevators sends you back 40 years and everything is extremely dated. The hallways between the hotel rooms are also really dingy and not welcoming at all. Thankfully, the room was decently updated and I had a lovely view of the lake! The room itself was comfortable, but some of the wares, again, felt dated (small TV/no TV guide, binder full of hotel recommendations that feel like they haven't been looked at in years). The bathroom also has zero counter space and could be updated. But overall, this room was fine for a few days in the city, and I appreciated the lower cost of this hotel.

This is a beautiful historic Chicago downtown hotel across the street from Grant Park. However, some of the rooms and hallways are in need of updating.

Service was fine, but very quiet and uninformative. I was very uncomfortable in my room. Three of the towels had yellow stains, the toilet seat was loose, the shower curtain had stains on it, and the shower itself had hair in it. The toilet bowl was also dirt. Very disgusting. Had I not gotten into Chicago at 11:30pm I would have gone elsewhere.
