Travel tips

Since on-site parking isn't available, guests driving into the city should plan for a short walk from parking located three to four blocks away, and consider arriving with minimal luggage or a cart. The location makes it easy to explore on foot, with Millennium Park, Cloud Gate, and the Chicago Cultural Center all just minutes away, and the Riverwalk and Art Institute within a short stroll as well. Given reported check-in difficulties, guests may want to confirm arrival procedures and contact details in advance and allow extra time when checking in.

What guests say
