Thanks for the prompt response..

I am leaning towards the NMA property (hope it is the Omni)...

Apprehensive about getting the Felix Hotel given the poor ratings (80%). Also has a 3.5 rating for room comfort.. If it was the Sax or Palomar, will expect a higher overall customer review rating. What do you think based on your experience?

Thanks

The Chicago Omni is an all suite hotel.

While the Omni calls itself an all suite hotel, I've read numerous reviews where "opaque" guests were given non-suite, studio rooms. I am interested in the Omni for my upcoming trip in June and have currently booked it with my AAA discount as a fully cancellable backup. I have seen the same listing as Mbanu in this thread and have been tempted to go for it should the price drop below $200 a night.

Mbanu, please report back to let us know what type of room you get. I'm very interested. Thank you, hope it's wonderful!

Sure will..

Was a wonderful stay.. Location perfect. Just off Michigan ave.

It was a suite. A living space and then the bedroom

Thank you for the follow-up review - glad you were able to get a suite and had a nice stay.
