Highs & Lows
-
The rooms are large, beautiful, and comfortable. Not to mention a 2pm check-in and check-out time.
-
Fresh muffins and coffee in the lobby every morning plus complimentary wine and cheese during happy hour.
-
The lobby was just redone a few months back and provides a great backdrop for planning the day’s activities or catching up on emails.
-
The food at Primehouse is not the most exciting...given all of the great food Chicago has to offer, you may want to venture outside of the hotel for your culinary experiences.
