The room was clean. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The weekend included a lot of families and parties. We ended up with a very loud party in the room next door. Two calls to security and the loud music and singing finally stopped around midnight. While security responded to our calls, this party missed the expectation of quiet time after 10:00 pm (I didn't call until 10:45). During the day, the pool was used by lots of young children in flotation devices--it would be nice to have an hour or two of adult swim time.

Without notification this hotel let me kno when I registered that they now add a $25 dollar convenience fee for things like internet and free drinks at the hotel. This was absurd. In addition a $65 dollar fee for self parking. Won’t do this again.

I would caution people looking at hotels to consider EVERY tax, fee, and service charge that affects the bottom line of cost. There are many great things about this hotel including its proximity to attractions in the Streeterville area of Chicago, such as Eataly, Bally's Casino, Winter's Jazz Club, AMC Theatres, shopping at the Mag Mile, etc. The included buffet breakfast is excellent. The nightly manager's reception is great for alcoholic drinks, but the snacks are very meager. The main reason that I gave 4 stars is that we were charged a daily $25 destination fee of which we were unaware until we checked in. We had to use it each day for premium internet ($20) or at one of the two onsite restaurants or you just lost the credit. This charge really should appear in their overall charges when you register for the room. To me, it's just another made-up fee. But I wish I would have known about it up-front so that I could compare apples to apples when comparing hotels.
