Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel itself is very nice. The staff is polite and efficient, the bar and cafe are nice; we didn’t even mind the 2 hour delay to our room. The ISSUE was that we were at no point notified that the hotel allows dogs in the rooms. My husband and myself are very allergic, so after a long day of sight seeing we were not excited to deal with some pretty severe allergies. Ruined our 2nd day of the trip as we were roaming Chicago until 3 am looking for allergy medications. So, nice place and great views (BEAUTIFUL views of the lake and navy Pier but be warned, you could be spending your $200+ stay outside of the hotel in the wee hours because no one thought to notify you of conditions like this.
