My wife and I have stayed there many times. They underwent a major remodel several years ago. It is nice inside. The rooms tend to be small however. Last time we were there ($65 PRICELINE bid for a February) they put us in a room that was about the size of my bedroom at home. With a bed, chair and TV, there wasn't much room to walk around. My wife complained (ie, turned on her charm) and we were upgraded to a corner suite. It was directly over Michigan Ave, and also faced north. Couldn't beat it. As busy as Chicago is this time of year, the likelihood of that happening isn't great. But, regardless of the room you get, the location is wonderful. Have fun!!
