Went to Chicago on train for the day. Return was cancelled . Booked last minute hotel through Expedia. We had no luggage , or change of clothes. Just looked forward to a hot shower. We had absolutely NO HOT WATER,& tub filled up w ice cold water that took forever to drain. So disappointing. I think a credit is in order for a very uncomfortable stay.

What used to be a beautiful hotel, now feels like an old fossil. You can see the antique decor, and it has an art deco feel in the rooms, but the quality has greatly gone downhill. My room had stained furniture, stained lampshades, misshapen old pillows that are almost cotton balls, and peeling wallpaper. The towels were paper thin and reeked of bleach. This is not the crown jewel it used to be.
