“The hotel's strongest suit is its enviable location along the Chicago River, a true advantage for exploring the city's heart. While some rooms may need a refresh, the staff's friendliness and perks like complimentary wine and cheese hour are noteworthy; the easy access to Riverwalk seals the deal. For a convenient and sociable stay, it holds its own.”
