Hotel is in an excellent central location, just a short walk from Michigan Ave and the Chicago River, and a slight further walk to the lakeshore and city's parks. Check-in and check-out were a breeze thanks to the front desk (they do allow early check-in if possible so you may want to inquire, really helpful). As for the private room, it was well-stocked with towels, ample supply of soap/shampoo (not tiny single use bottles), very large bed, closet with lots of hangars, and fast wifi. The large bed does make for narrower walking space around it, not a significant issue for me (you'd be exploring outside anyways). Would definitely stay again in the future and recommend.
