Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciate the hotel's excellent location near the Magnificent Mile and its charming, historic atmosphere. Many highlight the friendly and accommodating staff, enjoyable breakfast, and rooftop views. However, there are consistent complaints about hidden fees, poor value for the price, cleanliness issues, and some outdated room features. Service quality is mixed, with some guests noting inattentive or unfriendly staff. Overall, the hotel offers a great location and ambiance but falls short in transparency and room quality.
