Reviewed by Nicholas O. of Indianapolis of IN United States on Jan-2007 Stayed at the Property - Dec-2006 There is a reason the Omni dropped it's name from this hotel. Great location to the mile and the El, but don't plan to spend time in your room. Our room was dirty and rundown and the shower only had COLD WATER. Not a drop of warm. If you just need a place to stay for convience, this is it. Just don't expect to be impressed or feel like you got your money's worth out of this hotel that is in much need of updating.

Reviewed by Juval S. of Indianapolis of IN USA on Jan-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2006 How this hotel obtained a four star rating is beyond me. The hotel was nasty. I switched rooms four times because of the uncleanliness. They finally put me in the "show room". It was decorated completely different than the others and seemed to be cleaner (mind you the rest was a complete dump). The problem is that the shower had drainage issues and to shower you had to stand in other people dirt (literally there was stuff coming up from the drain).
Pros:	Nothing
Cons:	Everything

Reviewed by David L. of London of ON Canada on Feb-2007 Stayed at the Property - Mar-2006 Great location. A little pricey for a long stay. Close to a public beach (too bad we were there in March!). Easy walk to Mag Mile; a little longer to the Loop. Close to subway. Lots of great restaurants & bars close by.
