One night stay

Our receptionists on arrival and departure were exceptional. Amazingly friendly and helpful The rooms are quite outdated, which the pictured really don’t show and is therefore a bit of a mislead. Chipped furniture an old aircon that’s all flaked etc Also a massive shoutout to our waiter in the restaurant. We had lunch and he was THE BEST! Thank you so much

The Review

Everything was okay wasn’t worth the price but it was the pretty cool our first night we didn’t have a remote ! 50 dollars for parking is also crazy but I’m new to Chicago I guess that’s how things are ?!
