Stayed here late April 2013 w/ a large middle school group. We arrived very late at night w/ an exhilarated but very tired group of kids and the hotel staff was perfectly organized. The genders were separated (by floor area), the hotel coordinated on-floor security, and the keys were ready in envelopes marked w/ the occupants' names of each room.... More

Almost 7 years (June 2006) ago my husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon for almost a week. We were struck by the modern and interesting decor and the quality of the staff. I had contracted mono the week of my wedding and by the time we got to Chicago I had a fever over 100 and was nearly... More

As many have said, the outside looks very non-descript but the minute you walk through the door you know you are in a Renaissance. Starting at the font desk where everyone was extremely helpful to the Pancetta breakfast area where the staff was amazing, to the awesome bar that made you feel like you were in the living room of...

I stayed here for two night with my company for a meeting with about 200 people. My room had two queen size beds and provided a clean, comfortable place to sleep after a long day of meetings. Wifi is free if you have or sign-up for Marriot Rewards card. It was easier for me to use my Mifi device, but... More

We live in Chicago, but wanted a night away. The outside of the hotel is certainly nothing fancy (although from previous reviews it sounds like there will be some exterior updating), but the brick building certainly fits in with the neighborhood. The lobby is very modern and tastefully done. The front desk staff at check in were extremely friendly and... More

The hotel is decorated in a very modern art deco style. It's updated and clean. I stayed in a suite which was huge. There were 2 tvs, a living room, dining room, and kitchen. This was probably the largest room I have ever stayed in. The bathroom was nice and modern as well. The room was so big that there... More

The hotel was undergoing renovations when I was there in Mar 2013. The renovations were not disruptive. While I saw workers, I was not disturbed by the noise during my business meetings or at night. The hotel had the basic features of a hotel designed for business meetings. One nice surprise was the refrigerator in the room. It was great... More

So it's not much to look at from the outside, but once you get inside it looks fabulous! I would describe the decor as Funky conservative. Loungey purples, crystal bling, silvery mirrors and dark contrasts. Very modern and hip. The rooms were nicely appointed as well. This is where you discover that this place is still an older building behind... More

Robert greeted me with a smile when we came in. Our waitress Shiria was attentive and kind. The shuttle drivers Tony, Oscar, and Jim took me and my gorgeous wife to the mall and grocery store. We were well cared for the whole time! Awesome kind service. And John greeted us for breakfast in the morning and Freddie at night... More
