I felt that what I had paid for a night stay was far too much for the experience I was given. There were too many inconveniences during our stay made me feel this way. After paying EXTRA for valet parking, our baggage took 1 1/2 - 2 hour(s) to get to our room. I had to call the front desk to ask for my bags to be brought up. I asked if we could also get ice and water from room service when asking for my bags which took 1 hour after getting our bags. We only received the water and no ice. Room service brought ice upstairs about 1 hour later. And the pool was mediocre at best. Other than those things, we enjoined our stay. Room service was great when ordering from their menu(s). Food was 4.1/5 and was great late at night. Bed was very comfortable and shower was great. The tub’s a little small, but still pretty nice. Everything was clean too. Overall, it didn’t seem like a true 5-star hotel to me. This place was more like the Hilton Chicago.

Honestly, it wasn’t worth my time no price. I thought it would be a nice experience but it’s old and you don’t get a five star hotel feel from this. It truly just feels like a Hilton dressed up. Both my mom and I had charges we didn’t recognize and the front desk was less than helpful. I wouldn’t stay again.

Questions took awhile to get answered. Housekeeping needs to wait and not just enter rooms. Handicap rooms take longer to open door not appropriate they use master key and walk in
