Pros (+) Loved that we could pop in and out of shops and bars and be close enough to our room to drop of bags.
Cons (-) I didn't like the parking fee and noticed it was overpriced compared to other lots in the area. The hotel should include this or offer a discount.

Pros (+) The location of the James is ideal for visiting the River North area. The room is clean, reasonable size, and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Cons (-) Even on the 17th floor, there was a lot of street noise. We could even hear the saxophone player at the corner of Rush and Ohio! We also had a charge for the room honor bar that was added to our bill even though we did not use it. Watch your receipts!

Pros (+) I really loved/liked and grateful we were able to check in early when we arrived early in the morning after our flight. I think it's well worth it especially because we were staying only one night. For my taste, I liked the contemporary classy decor and atmosphere. The atmosphere in our room felt romantic. The king size bed and the comfort of the bed and linen was awesome for my taste. I especiall...
Cons (-) Me personally, and just my opinion, we weren't too fond of the shampoo/conditioner and body wash scents.
