“Fantastic views!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Spent one night at this very unique lodging in the heart of the Chicago financial district. The hotel occupies only the 40th floor of an otherwise upscale office building. As a result your room is 400 feet in the sky with amazing views of the surrounding skyline. Our room looked out to the north, enabling a view of the Willis (formerly Sears) tower, as well as a look toward the lake from our high perch. The room was beautifully appointed, had a couch with a bay window that facilitated our view all the more. Breakfast is provided as part of the room rate, provided at the athletic club dining room on the third floor of the building. If we had wished we could also have used the workout facilities at no additional charge. I highly recommend this place, you will love its location and the facility itself. One of the best hotel deals I've ever found.

“Almost perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

We enjoyed the clean and incredibly comfortable rooms and have high praise for the excellent service at the reception desk and concierge. The only flaw to our stay was a young pipsqueek of a security guard named Ian, who couldn't usher us from the building fast enough once we had settled our bills. He became confrontational and decidely unhelpful while we waited for our car to arrive. How can a welcome guest become a security concern in a matter of moments? Only Ian can answer that.

“Cheap hotel in quiet area of city”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011 via mobile

The hotel is located right near the La Salle subway station which is on the same line as O'Hare airport although the trip is about 45 mins.

The hotel reception is poorly sign posted when you enter from the entrance closest to the subway station.

Most businesses near hotel closed on weekends.

Rooms are big and cheap however are getting a bit tired. Dirty towels annoyed me however there were four in the room and most were clean.

Breakfast is included however its a self serve arrangement with only 3 tables. You have to be fast to get anything decent and also time it right to get a seat at a table. We found it better to eat out.

Good view of Lake Michigan from our room on the eastern side of the building.

“Great value, excellent view, good for a quiet business trip.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011 via mobile

I stayed with the athletic club because it was most affordable by far and fairly close (15 min walk) to my office. Location is kind of strange and sleepy since it's within a financial services building on the 40th floor. However, hotel was clean and very quiet. Decor was simple and slightly dated but experience was good. Staff is really nice an helpful. Would recommend for a tired business traveller.
