“What struck me most about this hotel is its prime location in Printers Row; you're steps away from Millennium Park and the Art Institute, and public transport is a breeze. I appreciated the blend of historical charm with modern amenities, plus thoughtful extras like on-site dining at Meli Café, which made mornings particularly enjoyable. It's a solid choice if you value both convenience and a touch of Chicago history.”
