Beds were comfortable. Room was quiet and I did not hear my neighbors, which is my biggest complaint in a hotel stay. Linens were nice. Staff at front desk very friendly. I would stay here again without hesitation. Lives up the Marriott standards in all ways! There was a restaurant across the street, but didn't see shopping to close by.

I would rank the hotel as a good business hotel, and overall the staff make a real effort to make your stay pleasant. The breakfast staff were really good and went out of their way, and the breakfast itself is good. Quite unusual that in the bar in the lobby they have live music every night, but I think it... More

Dear Reluctant_business, I appreciate your feedback regarding what works for you as a business traveler and what frustrates you. Although I was happpy to hear our breakfast and our evening bar scene are appreciated, the wait for a room and uneven cleaning are concerning. I've followed up with those departments to make them aware of the issues you faced. Thank... More

We stayed two nights and found the hotel had some rough edges and some nice touches. The room itself was good, though on the smallish end for a high-tier hotel. Beds were quite comfortable, good linnens, nice updated look. Bathroom was very small, with two getting ready for graduation events, it was tight. Front desk staff was upbeat and friendly... More

Dear Snowman00, Thank you for taking the time to share some of the details of your recent stay with us. The weekend you were here was a particularly busy few days and I am afraid we were staffed a little too lightly for that demand. Please accept my apologies.

Stayed here late April 2013 w/ a large middle school group. We arrived very late at night w/ an exhilarated but very tired group of kids and the hotel staff was perfectly organized. The genders were separated (by floor area), the hotel coordinated on-floor security, and the keys were ready in envelopes marked w/ the occupants' names of each room.... More

Dear grossepointebeachbum, Thank you so much for letting me know that all the arrangements for your tour group went so well. We are fortunate to have a fairly large number of educational and sports groups stay with us, and I agree that it is very important to have the arrival be extremely organized. Especially when it is late at night... More

As many have said, the outside looks very non-descript but the minute you walk through the door you know you are in a Renaissance.

We live in Chicago, but wanted a night away. The outside of the hotel is certainly nothing fancy (although from previous reviews it sounds like there will be some exterior updating), but the brick building certainly fits in with the neighborhood. The lobby is very modern and tastefully done. The front desk staff at check in were extremely friendly and... More

The hotel is decorated in a very modern art deco style. It's updated and clean. I stayed in a suite which was huge. There were 2 tvs, a living room, dining room, and kitchen. This was probably the largest room I have ever stayed in. The bathroom was nice and modern as well. The room was so big that there... More

The hotel was undergoing renovations when I was there in Mar 2013. The renovations were not disruptive. While I saw workers, I was not disturbed by the noise during my business meetings or at night.
