1. The pool was too small and too chlorinated but that was the only downside to our stay.

"Excellent value, very convenient and accomodating staff " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/12/2011 Vote

2. The only downside to both of these things is that they get incredibly busy (i do wonder how many savvy people just come in off the street for this as they never ask for your card).

"wow, lovely place " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/30/2011 Vote

3. downside was I slept on the sofa bed which is by the window and there were rowdy guests from a wedding that were quite loud in the wee hours of the morning.

"Great hotel....wonderful breakfast, cocktail hour, and perfect for sharing room with colleagues for conference " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/25/2011 Vote

4. The only downside (as with all hotels IN Chicago) is the cost of parking a car.

7. One immediate downside of this particular hotel is that it is built on top of retail and thus you have to take an elevator to what is essentially a fifth floor lobby.

8. Overall very good experience, went there with 2 kids aged 5 and 3, suites are definitely convenient for families, and very clean, no real surprise like any embassy suiteon the downside, I can mention that it was very crowdy for breakfast (not too mention a 20mins waiting line to get freshly cooked omelettes), there were no bagels though it was not bad at all.

"Very Convenient with Children " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/8/2009 Vote

9. the only downside was the price of parking.

10. The room was very clean, with the only downside being that the mattress had springs that you could feel.
