“The undeniable draw here is the location, placing you directly opposite Ohio Street Beach and a stone's throw from Navy Pier, with lake views that genuinely impress. While the property shows its age, the front desk team, particularly Arjanae, handles the hotel's constant bustle with remarkable grace and efficiency. It's a place where the comfortable beds and well-appointed gym make up for minor inconveniences like the lack of in-room coffee, compensated by complimentary lobby brews.”
