My favorite place to stay in Chicago! Amazing access to transportation, food, culture. Hotel has a unique feel and great staff. Some construction during my stay, but old buildings need maintenance, and I was unaffected by noise.

I really enjoyed my stay. Everyone was so friendly and for the price, the location was a plus. I was in walking distance of several sightseeing spots, and some good restaurants around. The room itself was cozy and clean. I highly recommend this gem for any first time visitors.

Even though the hotel was under construction, in some areas, it was easily accessible. The staff was above and beyond kind and thoughtful. The rooms were nice and clean. I have no complaints about our stay, in fact I would highlyrecommend!

Great service & location

Al was amazing! When we checked in, he asked why we were traveling and we shared that we were in town for my 20th HS reunion, as well as our wedding anniversary. He brought us chocolates, a card, and a bottle of wine! So sweet! Everything about our stay was great, from the location of the hotel to the service from all staff members, to the comfy bed and nice finishes. We will absolutely visit again!

Had a great room on the 6th floor. I have a bad back and have a zero gravity bed at home. Unfortunately I can’t bring my bed with me. But I slept like a dream in the bed we had. Nice cafe attached that we had breakfast at the following morning. Check in, check out and valet parking was super easy. We will definitely stay again on our next visit to Chicago.
