Staff at hotel is very welcoming and helpful. Our river view room is fantastic! And very comfortable & clean. Best location in downtown as river walk is steps away, very convenient to restaurants, shops at Mag miles, boat tours and with many public transportation near by. Will definitely be back next time visit to this Windy City.
