This Hotel is located on a quieter street but so near the bustle of Michigan Ave and Rush Street. The hotel reminded me of a European Hotel - very quaint and historic. We loved the clean and accomodating rooms with a small kitchenette. We also loved how sound proof the rooms were and did not hear a bit of street noise. « less

Found this hotel on a search site. The room was pretty nice; had a vanity/kitchen area with fridge, a nice shower and pretty good freebie soaps. Friendly service too, and a gym. Great location -- right near the Hancock Building and Michigan Avenue. The rooftop bar is cute and has a great view. My only complaints were a squeaky room door and an elevator that was a little loud. « less
