This hotel had excellent reviews when I booked, and I can happily attest that they were accurate. The hotel occupies floors 8-20 of a high-rise in the Miracle Mile area; so the views are spectacular, and the rooms are nice and quiet. The breakfast was more than ample, with plenty of hot options (sausage, eggs, hashbrowns, etc.) and cold options (bagels and cream cheese, cereal, yogurt) daily, along with a rotating set of offerings including pastries, waffles, and even steamed broccoli and cauliflower one morning. Ground level restaurant has a solid menu with a beautiful atmosphere. Museums, convenience/grocery stores, classic Chicago style food (deep dish pizza and hot dogs), and mass transit are all within walking distance. Room had a nice kitchenette setup and was pristine; they do need bigger trash cans, but you can always just bring a plastic bag or two with you if you don't need service every day. Gym was better than many hotel gyms I've visited; only real thing missing was a foam roller, but weights and cardio equipment were solid. Luggage storage at front door for your bags makes it easy to enjoy your final day after checkout instead of missing out because you had to babysit your bags. Will absolutely stay again.
