Beautiful tower. Small lobby. Enough elevators. Expensive breakfast and minibar. Cozy beds. Nice bath. Not very secure. Yummy breakfast from expensive room service. Rooftop pool with view was awesome! Ordered extra pillows and blankets but never came.

This hotel is different than most I've seen lately because of the way the entrance is tucked away between a restaurant and office building. There is small hallway from front door to check-in to elevator. It has a European feel and in fact many European tourist were staying there. The room was nice and very comfortable. The walls seem to... More

I recently stayed at this hotel for business. The hotel is centrally located off of Magnificent Mile with easy walking to shopping and restaurants. The hotel is in a older building but the hotel itself and rooms have been renovated to meet the Crowne Plaza standards. The room was clean and sufficient. The hotel does not have hard wire but...

Dear Guest Thank you for your review and I apologize that you did not receive a restful sleep. You are correct, we use to be a Radisson so there is a good chance you did stay with us in the past.

Dollar for dollar, the location overshadows what is otherwise lacking. If you plan to spend most of your time exploring the city, this place will do. If you are looking for a more luxurious stay, skip this hotel. Not spotless, but clean. Comfortable bed. Excellent concierge.

I must say this is by far one of the better hotels I've been to. The beds were SUPER comfortable. The suite was clean and the furniture was nice. The only thing that wasn't so great was the long wait for the elevator... but, what's to be expected when you have 30+ floors of rooms to accommodate and quite a... More

We were very surprised at the poor quality of every aspect of this hotel. Poor signage, unacceptable greeting by bellman, staff clearly untrained, and rooms and bathrooms need updating. For their going rate customers can go to another hotel and experience a nicer stay. The bed was good but that is the only thing that was positive. We were happy... More

This hotel is only a few step from Michigan Ave making the location perfect! Lots to do and see in a very close proximity. Gino's East and Corner Bakery are close and great.
