Joyce and Jean really made my stay at the Chicago Athletic Association one of the most stellar experiences I’ve ever had. They both went above and beyond to make sure I had whatever I needed and the attentiveness for the staff at large was impeccable. Check-in was a breeze and from there the accommodations were top-tier. The room was wonderfully appointed, and the hotel amenities could not be beaten. I will always come back to this hotel.

From 11 PM until 1 AM our room was vibrating from the loud House music in the Gameroom directly above us. Then from 130 AM until 530 AM all of the dumpster in the Alley directly outside of our third story window were being emptied extremely loudly. We were able to sleep from 530 until 9 AM.
