With the exception of being in downtown Chicago and all the city noise that accompanies, this was the quietest hotel I’ve ever been in. And they were booked! Awesome and the property was spotless.

Solid no frills hotel
Fun hotel at a great price. Though the hotel is newer, it was another hotel previously. Some of the fixtures from the previous hotel are still in the rooms and are falling apart. Rooms could use more closet space. Customer service was not bad at all, just very slow. There is usually only one valet working so parking and getting your car is a little slow. Great location, just be aware there is construction in the area, so it’s a little loud. The walls and windows are not sound proof at all. Though this hotel is part of the Accor group, if you are looking for luxury, this hotel is not it. The art gallery is a nice element.

I usually stay here this is my second time staying live the area and what’s around. The hotel its self is nice and a good hidden gem. Love the 24/7 museum and service. However our first room had a weird smell, along with a broken fridge we changed it and our stay was good after that.
