Historic building in a great location. However, the towels are really small and the bathrooms have that sliding door thing (and no fan!)

We actually love everything about this location. Aside from having very convenient access to parks, shopping and transit, this building is fascinating and easy to spot when out and about about. The staff were wonderful and the only problem we can mention is that we don’t know when we will have a chance to return. Thank you!

It was a wonderful stay. The only sad thing was the concierge lounge was closed during our stay, and we were really excited to make use of the 1600 club amenities. Overall it was a wonderful stay however.

6/10 Good

Overall found this to be overpriced for what it was. Our reservation wasn’t ready, towels were small and scratchy (we kept having to ask for more despite having a reservation for 4). Important things were clean (sheets, bathroom) but dusty lamps, felt like the clean had been rushed. For the cost, I just don’t think this hotel is worth it. Staff are professional and helpful.

The location was perfect for my first time to Lollapalooza. My room was spacious and had the most magnificent view! The only thing I wished they had was a ramp at the hotel entrance instead of just a few flight of stairs. It was difficult for me to bring up my luggage up the stairs and through two doors to get to the lobby. I understand that this was a busy week for them but no one approached me to help.😩
