The Godfrey hotel is to be opened in Feb. 2014, it's located in "27 West Huron at LaSalle, 60654", is anyone familiar with this place? Is it a good place to run a hotel? Thanks!

How can anyone be familiar with a hotel that hasn't opened yet?

The neighborhood though is River North, which is a prosperous, safe, and vibrant newer residential neighborhood.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know - the neighborhood.

It was designed by Valerio Dewalt Train, and was originally going to be a Staybridge Suites hotel developed by Duke Miglin. Miglin went bankrupt just before the Great Recession took hold, and the hotel was foreclosed on in the middle of construction. It sat half-finished draped in tarps for five years before someone once again bought the site and decided to finish construction--now rebranded as the Godfrey. It's a very modern design, but many of the rooms with have issues with ceiling height. Don't stay there if you're tall!

It's a very touristy area with many hotels and entertainment options popular with out-of-town guests and suburbanites.

You have the address wrong.

It's 127 West Huron.

The hotel will do well as long as they have good service and decent rooms. It's in the middle of a good neighborhood with a lot to do. I'm excited to see if the rooftop bar/lounge will be any good.
