When we walked into the building, I was a little surprised by the size, a little smaller than expected including the rooms. However, the place was gorgeous and the surprise of the shower placed where it is. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Love the forward thinking with the elevator system and the robots. Finally, my sincere gratitude to accommodating our every needed - especially upon check-in. I appreciate your hospitality and we will use you again.

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.

I was happy with the scenery and comfort of the hotel definitely love it the valet driver was excellent and very accommodating. Far as the inside service I did not get what I paid for when I checked in I was presented with what to know or what services I would be expecting. But overall thank you
