    The hotel was desolate at night and difficult to find even for cab drivers. The room was dirty and reaked of smoke. I had to return the coffee pot in the morning due to a thick crust of dried up coffee being on the bottom. The staff was not friendly and upon check-out, they tried to bill me for 20 phone calls which I did not make. Additionally, they attempted to bill my credit card for the entire stay even though everything was booked through Hotels.com. I have never had a bad experience through hotels.com but this was a disaster!

    I could not believe my eyes when I saw this room. I tried to get the most economical value in a specific area of downtown Chicago. I ended up with a gorgeous suite on the 40th floor with a spectacular view of the city at night. Although I didn't arrive until after 11 pm I ended up staying up just to look at the lights and view. The room was appointed beautifully with full ammenities. This hotel is within short walking distance of State Street and downtown shopping. The hotel itself is extremely safe as it has full security entry. Staff are helpful and personable. I was so amazed that I got this high quality of hotel for the minimal price I paid that I had to check with the front desk to make sure I was in the right room. They replied, "You booked with Hotels.com didn't you?" I've never booked with them before and believe me I will continue to do so and tell all my friends of the wonderful experience.
