Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The staff were excellent and helpful. The other guest were great to be around and were pleasant to be around. Having wrigley field literally a blog away helped with travel time to games. Only downside was that they were children’s bunkbeds and you couldn’t sit up or on the side. But otherwise well worth it
It was a nice place to stay for a night. Conveniently located to go for a run on the lakefront. There is nowhere to get food late at night, though. And everyone's alarms went off at 8 am and then again after their snooze ran out, so no sleeping in for me. But it's fine for one night.
I liked that the property was set up to create a fun communal space, equipped with computer room and seperate game rooms that were all very comfortable.
It was okay for 1 night. I'm a 26 yr old female amd stayed in a mix gender dorm. I never felt unsafe inside the hostel. Its EXTREMELY warm in the common areas and they only have AC in the rooms (thank goodness)
I slept on the bottom bunk and it was very comfortable. The person above was moving but the bunk beds are very solid. I didnt hear any creaking nor feel the movement (which i was anticipating)
I came here for a concert at wrigley field and only chose this place for its location and price. Other hotels with private rooms were going for $400+ a night in the same area.
I do think its way overpriced for what it is. $100+ for basically just a bed to sleep in.
The staff were very helpful and nice. The reviews saying otherwise just come under prepared or dont read instructions beforehand. As I also work in hospitality (over 6 years) people usually blame the staff for their own lack of preparation. As long as you read the info the accommodation provides you'll be fine!
The room was clean and the AC worked great, I was there for just one night but there was so many amenities with the kitchen, lounge and deck that I will 100% stay there again in the future.
They gave me a key that did not work, and I got locked out. The after-hours phone number did not work. I had to take an uber to a friend's house to spend the first night. Difficult to use the bathroom as it is always in use by someone else. Others in the room were using drugs.
