Beautiful view of Chicago city, room was clean spacious and staff were great. Very nice and helpful and area was great with food places within walking distance. For future guest, only thing I can inform is price for parking is pretty high and breakfast was not all that. Besides that we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you to front desk Joel as well for helping book our second night.
