Front Desk Girl needs training!
The hotel is beautiful and the amenities as well. The property itself deserves 5 Stars. Most of the staff is very kind as well! EXCEPT… yesterday was the magnificent mile parade.. I arrived to the hotel obviously a little frustrated from the traffic and not being able to find self parking at the property.. The front desk girl was rude as hell. She tried to match my frustration and had attitude because i simply asked if the valet can just pick up my car literally next door since traffic is bad( and drive 20 minutes around the whole street again)and im already having a bad day. She should not be a front desk/hospitality host. Very unprofessional and needs coaching on her attitude. Gladly i was helped by a different person, an older lady (name started with a G) . She was sweet and assisted me when the TV wouldnt work in my room and moved us to a better room with nicer views. Again, great hotel and location but that specific person needs some serious conversation with her management on how to speak to guests who spend top dollar in Chicago.

Location was great. Walkable or short uber rides to many sites. Friendly staff. Puzzling shortage of hooks for towels in bath room as well as stinginess in suppling towels. But in general, what you expect from a Radisson.

Had an amazing time! The hotel was very nice, the staff was friendly and the hotel restaurant was very good. Our room had a balcony with great views of the city. I would definitely recommend if you are visiting from out of town or just want a staycation in the city.

lovely hotel, close to millenium park
the rooms are fab, beautiful building and friendly staff. just a few things to consider if you’re traveling with elder folks: hotel staff are not allowed to print off boarding passes for you. just a little thing but that’s the type of thing that gives my beloved elder some extra stress.

Fire department next door gave me no sleep.
The hotel is beautiful. The room was spacious and nicely appointed. However, due to the fire station located immediately adjacent to the hotel and the noise, I was unable to sleep. They had numerous call all night long. The wind noise from outside was very intrusive. Considering what I paid for the room, my expectations were higher. My expectations were not met.
