We stayed here when seeing a concert at Wrigley, so we chose it because it is close to a Chicago transit station. There is a parking lot around the corner from the hotel, but there is no inside access to the hotel from the lot, and parking is expensive. The room itself serviced its purpose and the bed was comfortable, but was much smaller than we expected! At least we spent most of our time not in our room so it didn’t matter too much. The building is old so the hall by our room was very narrow and the elevator was really small. No mini-fridge in the room to keep our drinks cold or any leftovers in. The ice machine is on the second floor and the room that it’s in was probably 10° hotter than the hallway. That said, rooms and lobby were very clean and well kept, and when I had to call the front desk for a towel they came up with extras right away. The breakfast provided was also pretty good.

Friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing and clean. Everywhere we wanted to visit was within walking distance. On our last day in Chicago, we checked out but our flight was later in the day. They held our luggage for us so that we could sight see for a few more hours. EXCELLENT!!!

The room was very tiny and didn’t have a fridge, microwave or even chair and table to sit at. When we opened our window we could see straight into the room of our neighbor. The hotel is also being protested for cutting their union, so our check in experience was affected by that. We would not have booked if we had known these facts beforehand. The staff was polite, but we Definitely will not stay again
