A+. A great boutique-like hotel/motel. Room 111 in the motel is nice and clean. Very cute, like a mini studio apartment. A goid place to stay overnight for physicians appointments in Chicago.

Great location, nice neighborhood

We arrived in Chicago early, and the hotel was willing to hold onto our luggage until check-in time so that we could explore the neighborhood. The staff were friendly and courteous. I appreciated the extra pillows and blanket in the closet. The hotel was quiet, and the attached pub is excellent. The location is great and conveniently located.

Cool old building. Very quiet. Free off street parking!!! Large, clean room. Close to the green line, but that stop is a little sketchy with a small homeless camp set up there. Our only complaint about the hotel was that the AC didn’t work. We would stay here again on future trips.

The hotel was fine, nothing fancy, but the friendly staff, location, walkable neighborhood, proximity to the Frank Lloyd Wright home, and the convenient access to the city via public transportation made this place a bargain! We would like to stay there again.

Overall nice stay

Overall nice stay. Room was fairly clean although there was hair in the tub. The bathroom door had a hard time staying closed and squeaked so loud. Walls are thin but it is an old building. Bed was super firm, so if that's your thing you'll like it. Me being a side sleeper it was a bit hard.
