Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is very quirky. Positives are the adjacent co-working space which you have access too as a guest. Negatives are one bathroom and people that spend an hour+ in it leaving everyone else hanging. Strange and unpleasant smells. Bed I had in my private room was comfortable though and that was what I mostly needed.

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.
