3. On the positive side: 1) it is in a good location, especially for shopping on Michigan Avenue; 2) it is also a short cab ride (couple miles) to business meetings in the Loop; 3) at its core is a grand old building that was the Medinah Athletic Club developed by the Shriners; 4) it underwent a $250MM refurbishment with a new tower and real effort at amenities in the rooms; and 5) it has a large and friendly staff.
