Trip Type: With Friends Review 17 of 81Went for the city!
My fiance and I stayed here while we were visiting Chicago. We picked this location because it was very inexpensive. It is a little outdated but the staff is wonderful. We went to see the city, not sit in our room so the fact that it was outdated did not bother us. It is a great location. We could walk every where we wanted to go.

Trip Type: Business Review 18 of 81Basic room - beats camping
I had to stay in Chicago for a training conference and wasn't planning on staying in the room except to sleep. The room was large enough (King bed), bathroom was clean, though needed some ceiling and fixture updating (but someone would say that about my bathrooms, I'm sure). The room didn't smell bad or stale, but a little odd. The a/c worked as well as the TV. The parking was free and I could keep my car there until 3 pm after checkout. There's a restaurant on-site, but I didn't use it. Staff was friendly. It served it's purpose, I'd stay here again possibly if I was just crashing and needing a place to shower, but I wouldn't stay here with my family.

Trip Type: Romance Review 21 of 81The Stay as a Whole was Okay
I was very happy with although it was set up very much like a motel (pay the clerk outside, walk to your room)that the rooms were inside and assessable by a key card.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 23 of 81Great Location, but very run down.
Room was not cleaned very well. We found hair on the side table and the shower curtain was not clean. BUT, location was relatively close to Chicago Downtown/Mag Mile area and parking was free.

Trip Type: Business Review 25 of 81OK room, good location
The hotel is in a good location downtown, but don't expect anything more than minimum necessary.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 26 of 81Up All Night
Right outside our window across the street there was a night club with dance floors on floors of the building. The music finally stopped at 4:45 a.m.

Trip Type: Family Review 27 of 81A decent room, a good price and great location.
This hotel is all about location. The rooms are modest, but clean, and the staff was very helpful and pleasant. There is a nice cafe attached to the building which is open from 7:00am to 3:00pm. Good breakfast for a fair price. The surrounding area is fantastic, plenty of places to get a drink, or bite to eat. Close to the river, and Close to downtown. Depends on your need, if you are looking for a swank room you'll probably want to keep searching, but if you are in town to see the City, check out a game or a show and are looking for accomodations at a price, this is the place.
