"Outstanding stay and attentiveness."

Tony and his colleague (I'm embarrassed but I can't remember his name) were absolutely phenomenal. Very professional and courteous and attentive to all things. They truly ensured that my stay in Chicago was exceptional! I would give this hotel 20 stars if I could.
