"Beautiful hotel with a fascinating and storied history. The lobby looks nothing like the photograph online because there is very little lighting. The hotel bar felt more like a dive bar than a proud part of Chi-town history. The rooms were nice, albeit a throwback to the last century (we liked it) ..."
