The Bottom Line

What We Loved

  • Complimentary airport shuttle, which was efficient located at Terminal 2.
  • Rooms were priced at $280 per night, we used 1 Free Night Award & 30k points for our 2-night stay. The day of our stay, room was listed as 29k points.
  • Good location in Rosemont, close to airport & a few restaurants.
  • Hotel has a full Starbucks in the lobby, which closes at 2 pm on the weekend, which was strange.
  • Comfortable bed with a sleep well balm available for use.
  • The room is spacious with the two Queens and we loved that the desk had wheels & was easily movable.
  • Staff responded promptly to inquiries via the "chat with us" feature in the app.

What We Didn't Like

  • Check-in agent was abrupt & did not provide any information about the hotel. Minimal interaction with other hotel staff.
  • Bathroom handheld shower leaks too much for it to be used.
  • Our TV was not working when we came in, the staff came in to fix it after waiting 30 minutes.
  • Keycard not needed for the elevator, a safety concern.
  • At first glance, the 2020 renovations looks good. After a few minutes, you notice the scuff marks & the old bones that still exist.
  • It was difficult to connect to the wifi, which once connected was slow (10 mbps)
  • There's only night stand and there is no master light switch available next to the beds. You have to turn off the master by the front door.
  • The bathroom automatic nightlight stayed on too long, especially during the night.

The Verdict

We needed a place to stay after a red-eye, where we used 30k points and a free night award. With a free airport shuttle, a recent renovation & location close to shops, it is a great 'airport' hotel base.
