The hotel is located in a prime area on Michigan Ave, right across from the park, making it a great spot for visitors. The rooms are cozy and come with complimentary champagne, but I had a small issue when housekeeping arrived even with the 'do not disturb' sign up. The service was top-notch with fantastic room service and valet parking. The location is superb for exploring the city, although there were some noise disturbances from trucks backing up. The dining experience, which includes biscuits, was satisfactory. The hotel facilities were well-kept and convenient.
