The hotel appears very dated and used. The advertised roof top was in poor condition. The reservation for the weekend of the Chicago Marathon should have been highlighted at time of reservation as access by car between 6 am and 4 pm on Oct 12 was not allowed. Wallace, the door man, was a positive acquaintance.
