"Chicago is a very nice city and the hotel is situated perfectly."

9.0

Rooms (King River View) had spectacular views and were very nice.

We had a problem with the payment. I paid through Booking.com upfront, but the hotel charged my credit card again. It took the hotel manager to get this issue resolved. Update: While I thought the issue was resolved, 9 days later, I am still waiting for the money. Meanwhile, the hotel manager no longer answers my inquiries for status updates. I involved booking.com for clarification and claimed the respective transactions with my credit card company. While the stay was very nice for my family, this process is still very frustrating for me.

"Windy City Chicago"

10.0

The restaurant service was very good. Juan, Charles and crew were professional and personable. Not only did I receive the attention to see if I had everything I needed, but Juan was happy to help me out with a map of the city of Chicago since it was my first time visiting. By the end of the day, I was satisfied with the experience life in the windy city.
