"A beautiful hotel with awesome rooms and comfortable beds. The breakfast buffet was good, and the wait staff was efficient. The only negative was that there was only one front desk clerk at check-in and checkout, so there was a long line. Definitely stay here.2019-07-31"
"A bit hard to access due to minimal signage. Nice hotel room and quick room service. When we asked for an early check-in, we were told it would be under a half hour before we could get in our room, but it was 90 minutes. The in-room food and drinks were overpriced.2018-08-05"

"Great location; about a 15-minute walk to the "L" train. Short walk to the water taxis and some bus lines. The room was nice, but I was disappointed that this hotel only has 14 floors of the building, and all the higher floors are a different hotel. We were hoping for a view of the lake and river.2017-09-07"
"The hotel was off the main thoroughfare, but there were good restaurants within walking distance, and taxis were readily available. Handsome lobby and room, and the bathroom was unusually spacious. I had a glimpse of the lake, the Chicago River, and the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier from my room.2017-05-18"

"Close to everything. The room was spacious, and the bed felt like a big down pillow. The hotel clerks were accommodating, professional, and courteous. I asked for a room with a bathtub and was upgraded to a room with a tub and separate walk-in shower. I asked about a microwave, and one was brought to my room. No housekeeping because of Covid. You will hear the elevated trains, especially if your room faces Wabash. Nice cafe around the corner. I had a most enjoyable stay.2021-01-24"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
