The room was clean and met my basic expectations.
I encountered some issues . The parking was advertised as $40 a night through their partnered ramp. the actual cost was $65 per night. the staff seemed rushed and cold, failing to provide a cute atmosphere.

I was thrilled with the location! it's right near millennium park, with easy access to sights and restaurants. the reception staff was super cute. Their friendliness really set a positive tone for my whole stay. plus, i found my room very comfy and tidy. It had everything i needed.
i noticed that the street sounds were pretty audible in my room (especially early in the morning). it made it a little difficult to sleep sometimes.
