I've read endless bad reviews on this hotel and I can understand some of what was said but I think that they're just too picky! I've stayed a week and i've not received exceptional service--there was nothing that I needed. Ice on the 38th floor--who cares--someone left our ice bucket filled every day! Beautiful view!!!! We were automatically upgraded to superior riverview--i recommend it! There is street noise, but it's white noise--it never kept us awake. We're in the middle of everything--easy to catch buses, subways, taxis, etc. Shopping, Navy Pier, parks and much more within walking distance. Furniture simple lines, lighting--good, bathroom--2 sinks seperate from shower, deep tub and toilet. Bath and Body toiletries in room. Stereo and large flat screen tv in room. Someone said something about the closet in the bathroom, but it wasn't in our room. We had to walk out of elevators a few times that didn't seem to work, but there was always another waiting. Rooms were clean and the beds were made attractively each day. There was not a mini bar in our room if that's important to you. Corner Cafe is seconds away and there is a coffee maker in the room. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance--we recommend Giordianos Pizza--get the stuffed pizza and the chopped salad. Remember to weigh what you expect against what you expect to pay. This was a good 3.5 star hotel. No restaurant, but they did have room service ( I don't normally eat it the hotel as there are so many choices in the city!) I would recommend this hotel.
Pros: Location, location, location
Cons: Didn't have a car (none needed) but parking is pricey here
