Close to airport and Blue...

Liked: Large king bed, very comfy. Nice views over city. Close to Blue line stop. Friendly helpful courteous staff (even at a check-in at 2 a.m.). Free breakfast (yay!)
Disliked: Windows don't open ,so couldn't get fresh air. No milk provided in room (only 'creamer'). No instructions on how to use coffee machine to boil water for tea. No toaster/microwave in room, but obviated by free buffet breakfast (yay!). Breakfast bar had no tea.

Comfortable stay

Liked: Convenient location near to Allstate Arena where we came to attend a concert. Mariano’s groceries and Fashion outlet also within convenient driving distance. Spacious room equipped with microwave and fridge and coffee maker , easy for making simple meals. Hotel has its own bar and restaurant with late evening meals too.
Disliked: We did not seem to be welcomed in visiting the bar at the hotel after we returned from our late evening night out at a concert. Perhaps it’s near closing hours of the bar (midnight) as we visited the hotel bar around 11:30pm. Anyways, eventually we were efficiently served with our drinks and we managed to chill out a bit quickly before it closed.

Good

Very poor

Disliked: Sound from fire/smoke detector - not a discharged battery - buzzing sound that prevent good sleep.
