Ladies Weekend

100% Stayed here for a ladies weekend. We loved the location in proximity to shopping on Michigan Ave, sights of Navy Pier, and art near Millennium Park. We felt safe and comfortable the entire stay. The staff was friendly, informative, and just over nice (the door men are so funny and great guys to have a convo with). Would recommend.

The only critique I would offer is that we needed to give the front desk a heads up for cleaning service upon leaving for a day trip. We called downstairs for extra towels a couple of times.
