The property is very nice, neat, upscale and the staff is friendly. Did not like being charged a Destination Fee that they told me if I clicked on a little green circle with an exclamation point in it I would have seen when I booked. Please tell people what the full charge is going to be and not hide extra charges expecting people to go look for them. That fee gave me a negative feeling about what prior was very nice and I paid well for the room already.Offering me $$$ back at the bar or buying candy etc doesn't work as I would have never visited the bar or bought other items. No matter how you slice it the fees made the room cost even more.

Old on new
While it may be a little outdated with new on top of old and much needed plumbing, including the toilets for tots, which were so low I felt I was in the woods, leaning up against a tree to do my business. Other than that the service was excellent, and the location is stupendous, right there in “the loop.”

Many hotels provide complimentary internet access. The hotel offered free access to their service for members of their rewards program if one also booked directly with them. As I booked through Travelocity, they wanted a substantial charge even though I was a rewards member. I declined, and then found my cellular and WiFi useless on the property.

Onsite restaurant beware
Room was ok. Tub was peeling, tv kept turning off, and do NOT make a reservation with the onsite restaurant and pay the reservation fee. Apparently the servers are not aware of reservations and they kept telling me I was wrong and to pay my bill. I had to go to the hotel management to get the restaurant manager, who told me I was wrong until I provided the reservation email and they finally found my reservation number in their tablet. Also my original server never checked on us after food was delivered and left. Go somewhere else to keep.
