Great location, directly across from Grant Park with excellent park, lake and fountain views. Be warned, hotel is old and its been a long time since remodeling. Not that anything was wrong or dirty. But if you're looking for a new, fresh interior, this is not the location. We were on the top floor which has small portal windows. Not a big deal either (kinda adds to the charm), but just something to know beforehand.
If cost and location are your two primary goals, this location will work just fine, the building has a lot of charm. However, if you want a newly updated hotel where you want to spend all day in luxury, look elsewhere.
