Thank you kindly for your comments - we appreciate the time that you have taken to assist us with care for our guests.

We are glad that the bed was cozy and the rooftop pool was a success for you. Concerning the non-arrival of the extra pillows and blanket - I will address this in our staff meeting tomorrow and see how we can make this a seamless process for all of our guests,

Thank you again, Mik

“Low-key and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

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 be thinner than most and hall noise was noticeable.
The most impressive is the housekeeping. It is excellent. They really deserve a mention of this because it is really a cut-above the norm.

Room Tip: Try to get a room facing East. The sunrise over the lake is awesome!

“How could this hotel possibly be 4 stars?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2012

I travel 4 days a week for work and stay in hotels all over the country. THIS IS DEF NOT a 4 star hotel. Check out the rankings for the Peninsula Hotel which is accross the street from this hotel and you will see a 4 star hotel. Just stayed in this hotel May 1-4 and this is an old Ramada Inn or similar hotel that has a new name but same inside of a Ramada. This hotel is rundown, dark hallways, beat up walls and moldings, old carpet, etc. The only thing 4 stars about this hotel is the location. Lower your expectations to a 2 star hotel and you will not be disappointed. And whoever is giving this 4 stars, you do not have a clue about what a 4 star hotel looks like.

Room Tip: Higher floors have good views.

“Overall good stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2012

people found this review helpful

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 there is wifi for a fee. The wifi was not stable and it did not always work and it was slow at times. The hotel only have central air unit and if turned on, it is very noisy. No heat or air conditioning or at least I could not get it to work. My room had a window that open and this allowed fresh air. I enjoyed my stay but if you are here for work and you require the usage of the internet, you may want to look into other options or have your own mifi hotspot.

Dear Guest
Thank you for your review. I wish our maintenance team could have been notified of your air conditioning situation while you were still at the property or even having our customer service team assist you in moving to another room. We do want our guests to enjoy their stay with us and our team is available to solve any customer service matter Also please note that we do have internet available throughout the property, there is a fee so perhaps that is why you didn't think we had it available.
Kindest Regards
