"The lobby and bar were lovely. The room run down. Loudest toilets I’ve ever heard. The walls vibrated when doors closed next door. Horrible service in the bar. Literally, we waited 40 minutes (then gave up and left) for a drink with 3 people in the bar and 2 employees. The front desk people were efficient and friendly."
"Nice, clean hotel, with lovely rooms. Breakfast was good too as was 24/7 coffee. Only downside worth highlighting is that having two elevators for 19 floors of rooms is not enough, and got very, very busy at times.
Would not stop me staying here again, though. Thank you. Also, don’t valet park. Use a 3rd party parking app and you’ll get parking for 1/3 of the price at water tower place, at the cost of a very short walk."
