Visit to temple
Room was very comfortable and clean. Parking was okay considering the city congestion. Close to Baha’i House of Worship, which was our reason for the visit. Also walking distance from Northwestern University. Lots of places within walking distance to eat. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, especially maintenance.

Tired and dirty
The lobby, hallways, elevators and guest room floor were filthy. People were smoking in the non smoking guest rooms. It felt like a college dorm from the 1990s.

One star hotel with 4 star pricing. Avoid if possi
Even with a more modern look, the building feels very dated, worn out and very expensive for the amenities offered. Rooms are blah, television in the room did not have a lot of working channels despite having a list of channels that should have been working. You pay extra money for parking and one of the scariest parking lots I've ever seen. When we were there there was only one elevator working. Not a good scenario when you are on the 15th floor and there's a wedding party also staying in the hotel. Waited long and often for the elevator. In addition, you had to travel multiple floors to find a working ice machine. Wouldn't recommend using the ice machine either. Didn't look very sanitary.
