Great views in some rooms
The rooms were spacious and guests found them to be impeccably clean. Many of the rooms had a lovely view of the Sunsphere and the skylines. Guests who stayed in the 11th floor rooms said that they simply adored the executive rooms that were totally worth the privacy and price.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No proper signage
Guests feel that the hotel could do with proper signage telling them where to Check-in or where to park. Since the hotel is located in a busy area with little room to drive about or maneuver, guests say that signs would be nice and helpful.
negative:
Overpriced hotel
The parking at the hotel is charged, breakfast is not included, there is no fridge or microwave in the rooms and guests feel that the rates of the hotel are severely overpriced for the lack of amenities.
negative:
Temperature control issues
The heat can be activated only with the room keys and guests say it is crazy trying to keep the room at a decent temperature after they enter and occupy the rooms.
