Built in 1920, this "timeless" Gold Coast "landmark" has a "knowledgeable" staff, an "overwhelmingly beautiful" lobby brimming with flowers, "fine dining" (including Drake Bros. Steaks Chicago) and a harpist-assisted afternoon tea that's "worth the visit alone"; the underwhelmed claim that this Italianate "grande dame is a little tired", with "elegant" but "stylistically dated" rooms that "vary greatly" – luckily, a renovation is underway.

Large spacious room, gorgeous interior and a
friendly staff.
Had to pay for internet.

It was great. They gave us an enormous room. It was very comfortable and had a gorgeous view. The staff was lovely. The only complaints I have are that one of the outlets was almost shocked me -- big blue sparks -- and that you have to pay for internet.

Location - view of the lake and right next to Magnificent Mile.
It's old - old TVs and
old woodwork.

We really liked this hotel. It's an old hotel, but very spacious and luxurious. Location is great - we had a view of the lake and were right next to Michigan Ave where there's lots of things going on.

This is the first hotel I've stayed at that had a couch in the elevator. Quite impressive.
Nothing.

Great location. Nice architecture.
It is run-down and they keep the hot water temperature very low, therefore
I was very uncomfortable showering with warm water that felt cold.

Anyone that likes to shower with hot water will experience the shower as cold. Very unpleasant! Definitely not a 4 star hotel experience.
