Stay was okay. Expected more from a boutique Marriott. Decor was cool. Mood was cool. Actual hardware in the room was subpar. The shower handle and pipe leaked. The bathroom faucet leaked. Handles to drawers were loose.

We love staying at emc2 when we have an appointment at Northwestern Hospital. It is just around the corner and close to hospital parking, which is cheaper than valet parking. The restaurant on site, The Albert, is great, and we love getting dessert for the night here. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We love the design of the rooms. They are functional and nicely appointed.
