Fodor's Review:

Named a national historic landmark in 1998, this limestone building was a residential "club hotel" for men when it opened in 1924. A welcome 1999 renovation restored the limestone facade and overhauled the interior. The small rooms each have a unique layout, with classic wood furnishings, dramatic floral bedspreads, and marble baths. The bar adjoining the second-floor restaurant Taps on Two —Parisian in setting with its tiny tables and piped-in jazz music—will make you want to linger over cappuccino on blustery days.

Reviewed by amdc from Anchorage, Alaska on 12/31/06
We wanted a decently priced hotel room (is there such a thing in Chicago?). We chose to stay here because of the location and price but were a little nervous about the reviews. The hotel is quaint, we enjoyed the historic feel, better than the new more modern, "plastic" hotels. Our room was small but cozy, the staff were pleasant, and we couldn't have asked for a better location. We saw several other unhappy customers when we were there, from the check in reservation desk, another person in front of us in line complained about a staff person smoking in her nonsmoking hallway, and yet another person complained about his meal bill while we were in the elevator. The unhappy people were vocal and shared their displeasure with everyone around them. We were fortunate, all went well for us and Yes, we would return!
