We stayed at the voco for Chicago Marathon weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the hotel and lobby were beautiful, there was great energy throughout the building, the 24 hour market was super helpful for those early mornings, and the security at the front desk made us feel safe and secure. We loved our stay and will be back!

Alvaro, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The breakfast buffet was overall good. For the price, I believe the food could've had slightly better quality. Two vouchers per room was not satisfactory, especially given our room was meant for 4 guests. Staff during breakfast were kind and housekeeping was friendly. Check-in was smooth.
Saranda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my first time staying at VOCO and it was a great experience. Alonzo and Kenny at the front desk were amazing. The staff overall were kind and accommodating. The location great! I especially enjoyed the extended hours of the breakfast buffet. The rooms were spacious. My one observation and critique: the toilets are far too low!
