S. young couple January 4, 2025

Positives: To be honest I don't think i have EVER recieved such hospitality from the two guest service employee's I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with. Jordan and Alex who had helped me during my significant other and I's stay was impeccable. To be able to recieve such an outstanding level of service from both of them on our extended stay let's me know not only did we make the right choice in where to stay, it encourages us to continue to visit not only the Aqua but other hotels by your company in all honesty. With traveling for work quite often it was a pleasure to be able to have such exceptional service on one of the very few personal trips we had the ability to take. Thank you for having BOTH of them as members of your staff. It's indisputable they set a extremely high standard for service!

Negatives: It was delightful, we have 0 complaints

Next-Level Service

Christina family with young children January 3, 2025

Positives: It is a quick walk to several tourist attractions, including Millenium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. The building is beautiful, modern, and clean. The staff was helpful and polite. The room was a comfortable size for our family of two adults and two kids. We really enjoyed our stay here and plan to come back in the warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor pool!

Negatives: There is no refrigerator or microwave in the room. However, there is a mini bar and snacks placed on top of the desk with a sensor so that you are charged if you take anything out. It felt like a sneaky way for them to make money, especially for guests with kids who might not understand the rules initially. We would have loved a space to keep leftover food and I think the mini bar should be replaced with an actual refrigerator.
