    Nobu West Loop Chicago Room

    Overall Score

    9/10

    A gorgeously designed contemporary space with high ceilings and sensual lighting.

    Score Breakdown

    Front Desk

    9/10

    More than hospitable. Service above and beyond. Complementary room upgrade on my first stay even though my 3rd party booked me at a discount. Overnight guy wasn't as good.

    Shower / Towels

    9/10

    I found a design flaw! You can't run the shower without getting doused in the cold. Otherwise, a delight. Also, certain towels were a bit harsh.

    Bathroom Lighting / Layout

    9/10

    Genius use of space. Easy to get close to the mirror. Lights could be brighter.

    Room Layout

    10/10

    Plenty of electrical outlets - tastefully hidden from view. Very Open. Room to breathe. Gorgeously High Ceilings. Very efficient for the space.

    Bed

    9/10

    Don't talk to me.

    Room Lighting

    9/10

    Very sensual and excitingly contemporary. Could be brighter.

    Room Ambiance

    10/10

    Like I said, please do not speak to me.

    Internet Speeds

    7/10

    11.8 Mbps Down / 12 Mbps Up. WiFi Instructions required a request. Not super easy.

    Hotel Layout / Parking

    9/10

    The designers did a good job of preserving privacy and intimacy in a contemporary space. Parking is impossible, but it's basically Downtown Chicago.

    Extras

    10/10

    The restaurant was actual fire.

    Data Opportunities

    Estimate how much time guests actually spend in the room itself and see if you can predict room or stay extensions after the first day or two.
