This is one of the best stays I’ve had in Chicago. It’s located near public transit, plenary of dining options, shopping, and various activities and fun places. The staff was always prompt, friendly, and attentive. And the indoor pool and workout facilities were very nice. I’m already planning to book another stay soon!
