Hotel exterior and interior lobby was very well maintained. The room was shockingly small. The floor was a bit in despair, had a big dip in it between the bed and the bathroom door. Bathroom was a good size and was clean. Decent view out of the window. Bed was comfortable.

Everything was clean and everyone was friendly. Only real complaint was I picked a hotel with breakfast (and they did have one) however it was the same items every single day for a week (scrambled eggs, two types of sausage, pastry, bagel toast yogurt etc.) would have liked to see a little more variety like bacon or omelette or cheese to add to eggs. Also dining area was very tight but good amount of seats for people. Overall, good experience and was in a good part of Chicago (downtown)

The loading bay from the supermarket opposite is in use very early in the morning leading to very disturbed sleep due to the noise from the forklift and the truck being loaded.

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.
