Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Magnificent Mile

6/10 Okay

"Cons: The room was cleanish, the bathroom shower looked crazy. There was only half a covering so water naturally flows to the floor leaving visible water damage and mildew. The room had a nice size but a terrible view we just faced another hotel. The worst thing was that even from a high floor the 24hr street noise particularly ambulances and sirens was crazy loud. Pros: Common areas are nice and there was a Starbucks on property, very convenient. The location to attractions and shopping was great everything was a short walk or Uber ride away."
