Sable at Navy Pier Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Enjoyed our stay here, very nice and clean rooms. A lot of convenience being on the Navy Pier. The hotel should invest in a small shuttle from the bus terminal to the Sable vehicle entrance, to offer hotel goers an easy and efficient way to get back to the hotel, especially when people are first arriving with all their baggage."
