1. , but the only downside are the beggars that hang out on the corner outside the hotel.

"Huge suite for great price " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/25/2011 Vote

2. One downside is that internet is free in the rooms, but to use the business center and printer it is about $6/15 minutes and 50 cents a page.

"Great Touches All Around the Hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/10/2010 Vote

3. A few downsides.

"Pleasantly surprised at the suite - what a great deal on a wonderful room! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/15/2010 Vote

4. The downside is the $40/day parking cost, so perhaps we will try the parking garage around the corner next time.

"Still a Very Good Hotel w/Great Location but I Notice Budget Cuts " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/16/2009 Vote

5. The only downside, is that we like to walk or take El when we go and is a bit of a hike to the magnificent mile from the hotel, but is certainly doable.

"I love this hotel!!! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/28/2009 Vote

6. A couple of downsides - parking is expensive even for a downtown hotel in major city ($40/night), rooms in the back look directly into the parking structure, and retrieving your car from the valet takes a while (plan 20 minutes).

"A very nice boutique hotel with great service " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/21/2008 Vote

7. Only downside from the hotel perspective is that they were not aware or not advising departing guests that the subway line to the airport was closed on weekends - even though we ordered a taxi with our luggage to depart to the blue line to O`Hare so that was an unexpected extra cost.

"Awesome hotel! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/5/2007 Vote

8. The downside: The price.
