For the price the property was great! The room we stayed in looked like it was recently done and was huge with nice beds and redone bathroom. You could tell the age of the building though. Many rooms on our floor were padlocked - perhaps just hadn't been refinished (hotel is huge so perhaps not all the rooms are needed). Ice machines on the floors didn't seem to be working but they provided ice at the bar on the main level. Great location and walking distance to everything you would want to see. Also very close to the metro.

The bathroom was beautiful and clean. We ordered room service for dinner. The lamb chops were absolutely perfect and probably the best I've ever had; my partner had never had potatoes au gratin and loved them. We had a lovely view of the park & Lake Michigan; sadly the fog that morning made it hard for pictures - the hotel can't control the weather :) They were quick and polite with all service, check out was easy.
