8/10 Good
"Very nice staff. The suite was very spacious, but make note that it’s two full beds which are small and not the most comfortable to share. Beds a little hard, but pillows were nice. The location is great for convenience of Michigan Ave, but also VERY loud with sirens ALL day and night, in addition to loud car noises echoing off buildings. We didn’t try the restaurant or use fitness center, so can’t comment on those amenities."
