I left a message about an hour before check-in as to the parking conditions. They did not call me back. They left a text, which is impossible to read while you’re driving in Chicago. I arrived to see scaffolding up in front of the building and several large males loitering around the front door. It immediately had me concerned because I am a single white female. I contacted somebody twice about parking. She assured me there was parking but after driving around and around and around for 45 minutes I gave up and just drove home. I’m very disappointed.

Room was comfortable and large enough. Everything about the space was fine, aside from another guest who didn't clean up after themselves in the bathroom. For a cheap, safe place to stay - it's fine for the price. I will use it again in the future but only when traveling solo. I don't think my partner would have as much patience for a messy shared bathroom.
