Good hotel in a nice location. The staff were helpful and friendly. Room is large. Restaurant downstairs is not worth it. No room service which was a bit annoying after a long flight.

Would not recommend staying at this hotel. Design is cute and seems to have a relatively lower cost similar to others in same category. Unfortunately, heat did not work well (took an entire night to get to high 60s/low 70s despite being on max and their engineer checking on the issue twice) and the shower pressure is extremely poor, which is probably the thing I care most about :( I also ended up keeping my blinds closed for the sake of privacy as the view for my room was ugly (just faced another tall building, even on a high/upgraded floor) and others could easily see in. Btw this was the king room on this site. I paid around $145. I don’t think I got a particularly poor room as I have an elite Marriott status that qualifies me for free upgrades, and the hotel was relatively empty on the day I stayed. Usually I don’t care much about quality of customer service, but it was overall quite poor on numerous issues, with the exception being the person who checked me in (she was quite stellar). But yeah would not stay in this hotel again if visiting Chicago.

The desk staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, which I really appreciated! The hotel has such a unique design that's fun to explore. However, we did encounter a few hiccups with housekeeping during our stay. We had to ask for someone to come and clean our room, and since it was Sunday, the cleaning staff had already left for the day. Luckily Nancy change the sheets and provided us towels. We also noticed some black mold in the grout in the shower, which indicates that there might be a need for a little more attention to cleaning. I truly hope they can address these housekeeping concerns because the hotel itself is lovely, and the location couldn't be better!

Great experience at ECM2. From the moment we arrived Jaqueline and her staff were welcoming, helpful and kind. Rooms were unique and comfortable. Shower is tough to get out off! Gym was fantastic to do cardio and strength training. Alberts on site was amazing for breakfast as well as cocktails/appetizers in the evening. Two minute walk to Millennium Mile for restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend ECM2 for a weekend getaway! Dan
