We spent 3 nights at the Radisson Blu Aqua whilst touring Chicago. I chose this hotel for it's location and because of the positive reviews. The price was also comparable to other hotels in the area. Overall our stay was great.
The service at was above average I would say. Every staff member at the hotel was friendly and very helpful.
We asked for a high floor when registering at the front desk and were placed on the 18th floor, which was the highest floor available to hotel guests. Just to inform you, the remainder of the floors above 18 are reserved for condo owners. So, if you are expecting a VERY high view at this hotel, you will be a bit disappointed.
Our view was southward, we could see most things down Michigan avenue, at least things that weren't blocked by other tall buildings. The windows were a bit dirty, which tainted the great views at bit. We did not have a balcony, which might explain the dirty windows, as it would be a challenge to clean windows at this hotel, due to the design of the outside structure.
The room itself on the small side, but being a couple that was no problem. The room was clean and the bed comfortable and shower was spacious.
The location was somewhat central to the things we wanted to see in Chicago. We walked most everywhere, including Navy Pier and The Field Museum. It is a walk, but very doable.
I would stay at this hotel again, we enjoyed our stay even with the minor issues.
