You ruined my vacation night

3.0

The valet and front desk staff were all exceptional! Friendly and attentive, seemed knowledgeable and provided great service. The view (paid for the King room with a View) was exceptional as well!

I booked this night as our vacation for the year. This was all we could afford for the entire year. I had 3 expectations - an exceptional room with an incredible view, a day at the riverfront, and our first rooftop experience. I called when I booked and then confirmed at registration that we did not need reservations for the rooftop, it is first come first seated. We arrived at the 3rd floor that evening to find a sign that read Rooftop Closed for a Private Party, for the entire evening. I BOOKED THIS HOTEL BECAUSE OF THE ROOFTOP EXPERIENCE. At the front desk they were not aware of the rooftop being closed when I went down, crying, and asking for a recommendation. We called and walked around for 90 minutes attempting to get another rooftop experience but with no reservations were unable, We had a terrible meal in your lobby restaurant, I would definitely not recommend that place to anyone, the salmon was overcooked and obviously not fresh, for $33. Next time I am going to London House - just a little bit more money but you can get a guaranteed reservation at their rooftop and its on the 25th floor, not the 3rd. NEVER COMING BACK, AND TELLING EVERYONE!!

Celebrating an anniversary, we booked a river view room (thanks to a TripAdvisor tip) and absolutely LOVED our long weekend in Chicago. Amazing location for dining, exploring, enjoying the City.
