Diamond Ambassador
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, very much
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked lowest price, and received studio suite
How are the rooms?
Great, modern design, huge bathroom with full soaking tub. Atelier Bloem Toiletries, Drybar hairdryer(very nice to see).
I usually bring my fire stick to watch TV, but the HDMI inputs are all sadly hidden.
[If you are Spire and Inner Cricle]
How was your complimentary welcome amenity?
Two bottles of Acqua Panna water, some fruits with a postcard.
What was good and what was bad?
I love the front desk team. They are so considerate about any requests, and they offered to help me bring my takeaway food upstairs.
The breakfast is perfect. It used to be Steadfest at Gray but the main restaurant is currently closed. Perfect cooking for breakfast steak!
I usually prefer Gray over Monaco in Chicago, my current home. The view is unsatisfying because the hotel is in the financial district, so you can only see Northern Trust, BMO, CIBC, etc. If it is for a business stay, then the location is just more than perfect. Very quiet and nice neighborhood.
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Normally the price is just the same as other choices. Would return for sure.
