“Chicago's radisson aqua”

Beside the riverwalk, Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago is a great highly-recommended stay for many: a good excellent location, a clean comfortable room, warm kind friendly helpful service, a fair rate and definite-return intent. Dissents though: a severe not-worth-it verdict — housekeeping skipped for two nights, an unclean sofa, too few lifts and bare corridors that amplify chatter — a witness report of a cleaner wiping a toilet with a bath towel, better-than-reality pictures, doubled event-day rates and a hundred-a-day deposit.
