United States, December 2023

7.8/10

Spent one fun night at this hotel that offers small but unique rooms with a climbing ladder repurposed as a wall storage rack. The lack of natural light in the backyard room was a drawback, yet it was still an enjoyable stay.

The hotel has great rooms, with two double beds that were plenty big for me; however, they were a little too warm. The service is fantastic, always going above-and-beyond to be friendly and helpful.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The location was superb, directly across from Millennium Park with great restaurants nearby. The rooms, although a bit dark without natural light initially, were moved to a higher level bringing that nostalgic Chicago atmosphere. The service provided by the staff was top-notch, with the manager being extremely accommodating and friendly. However, some areas of the hotel felt a bit cramped, and the dining options, particularly at the Cherry Circle Room, were outstanding.

Dining at the Cherry Circle Room was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. The succulent organic chicken was a highlight. However, a wider variety of dining options beyond this exceptional restaurant would have been appreciated.
