Close to food and fun!

Very nice front desk person. Got right in! Super close to buses and the L for getting around the city. $5 all day disposable pass!! Close to McDonald's and Portillos. Close to Walgreens as well. Elevator extremely small and has a mind of its own. Walls are thin and you can hear the TV next door. Lots of city noise....but the beds....love it! Thanks for a nice stay!!

6/10.

Stayed here for a quick trip into the city, not horrible but was not completely satisfied. Room was overall clean but the halls ways had a very strong smell of smoke & marijuana. The smell came into our room pretty strong especially at night. Had to ask for air freshener but they only gave us Lysol spray, didn’t help much. Again, overall okay place for a quick trip.

Good place to stay with family.

Very convenient location to stay during visit Chicago. You can walk everywhere in the downtown, very convenient. Room size was good especially when you are staying with family. Price is very reasonable.

Run down facility

Completely run down. In need of major renovations. Interior hallways smell awful. Pool was out of service. Staff is friendly, but building and rooms below standards.

Smelly, creepy hallways, but fantastic location and clean, comfy rooms for the price.

The location of this hotel is phenomenal - within easy walking distance to the Nordstrom mall and Eataly. The room was clean enough and the bed was comfortable enough. However, a mini-fridge and microwave would've been wonderful. The worst part was the old, smelly, creepy hallways. And I mean, REALLY smelly! However, for the cost and location, I would stay here again.

The hotel appears very dated and used. The advertised roof top was in poor condition. The reservation for the weekend of the Chicago Marathon should have been highlighted at time of reservation as access by car between 6 am and 4 pm on Oct 12 was not allowed. Wallace, the door man, was a positive acquaintance.
