Chicago is a city with hard edges, and this hotel fits right in. The experience doesn’t match the photographs which don’t show the noisy room next door to the lift shafts that we were upgraded to, the broken pavement outside the hotel that we fell over, the failure of the hotel to fully honour the Luxury Escapes Package. Would not recommend.
