The 45 min river cruise is a definite must see on your Chicago itinerary. A guide will give a highlight for each major building.

A very convenient way to see the major tourist destinations in the city because there's no need to think about which bus/train to get on, just find the bus stop and off you go!

The night view is truly breathtaking and well worth it. It not only covers single architectural groups but also includes cultural and historical background, and even takes us to see the entire skyline. I really love it. Highly recommended :)

One of the best ways to experience Chicago! The tour was informative, relaxing, and the city skyline views were stunning. Learned so much about Chicago’s architecture while enjoying the river cruise.

Great location in the middle of the Gold Coast, near to Michigan Avenue and all the shops. Spacious studio room, very clean and have all the kitchen amenities. Free daily breakfast is a plus.

We chose to stay here for three consecutive nights in Chicago, opting for a lake view room, with the Trump Tower visible right outside our window. The beautiful views, both day and night, already made us feel like we got excellent value for our money. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient for walking everywhere, eliminating the need for transportation. Even after four days and three nights exploring Chicago, we still felt like we hadn't seen enough. If we have the opportunity to visit again in the future, this will definitely remain our top choice!

The doors and window frames showed their age. The door, in particular, didn't close properly and often required a strong push, sometimes leading to us leaving without the auto-lock engaging. On the positive side, the plumbing was clean, and the customer service was excellent. It was also very helpful to be able to get free bottled water from the front desk at any time.

We went at night and the view was spectacular. We were able to gaze at the skyscrapers and navy pier, enjoy the night scenery of Chicago from high above. The booking was also very convenient snd easy where we just decided to visit at 8pm and managed to book instantly for 9:30pm entry.
