I booked a room for our week-long stay in Chicago, and the hotel's rooms turned out to be considerably small. The service was top-notch, from the friendly staff to the daily minibar checks. The location was exceptional, near various attractions and with high-quality amenities. However, the dining experience had some drawbacks with limited breakfast options in a packed kitchen area.
