"Leisure travelers seeking an intimate refuge will find the exact opposite here, except when there are no conventions or Chicago Bears games; at those times, the hotel resembles a ghost town." Full review

Avoid the lowest floors, which lack views.

The average-size rooms are decorated in standard business-hotel style; if you can, request one on the north side, which features panoramic views of the city skyline and Lake Michigan.
