"This was my first time to The Chi and this hotel staff was amazing. The shuttle driver was efficient in getting us from and to the hotel. The front desk and breakfast staff was top tier. Anything we needed help with, they were great on helping with. I recommend the hotel also because it close to the Blue Line train to go into the city. I will stay here again."
