Review Score: 8

Summary: Terrific stay in general! Pros Incredible location—you can walk to the Art Institute and to tons of eateries of all types and price-levels. The view from our room on the 33rd floor (city view) was movie-like. The room was spacious, well-kept, and very comfy. A separate doored closet with was a nice extra—so was the large bathroom. Staff was warm and professional. Valet parking was a must; very fast and easy. (Not cheap, but within reason.) Lots of hip and playful modern art throughout the whole hotel, including the rooms. Cons Lobby tiny—but stylish. One mattress had a huge sag in the middle. With one person on it, you didn’t notice so much. With two you had to be careful to avoid the roll-into-the-center syndrome. Nonetheless, we both slept fine. Shower too tight—should be at least six inches wider. And we’re not large people. Toilet crammed in to close to shower. Service person in lobby (bellhop?) was dressed too casual. Seemed like he was wearing sweats. Conclusion All-in-all, a wonderful stay and I would book again. But if you’re looking for a deluxe hotel, you might try other options :)
