The staff were great. The only issue I had was the temperature in the rooms. It was far too hot. I didn't sleep well partially because of that.

Worth the money! This property is in a great location to see a non-tourist experience of Chicago! The bathrooms were not the best, but my room was clean. Overall, worth the price!

Extremely helpful staff. Rooms are clean. Great neighborhood. The only drawbacks are that there is no on street parking overnight without a permit and the beds are hard. For a short stay, you can't beat the price. I would definitely stay there again.

I've stayed long weekends here numerous times for a reason: It's clean. It's safe. It's friendly. It's centrally-located to so many things you want to do in the city. It clicks all the boxes for me.
