Great neighborhood location.
Great location and easy ($25/night) garage parking nearby. Comfortable bed, room and bathroom were nice and clean. Although room temp was comfortable, some difficulty sleeping as A/C unit was loud intermittently throughout the night.

Everything is great. Only thing I would suggest is not saying parking is on the property. It’s at a public garage at the end of the street. Close but not the same.

The hotel has a tremendous amount of old school charm. The lobby area is a wonderful space and the fresh baked cookies in the evening were on point. So many bar and restaurant options and easy to connect to mass transit.

Within walking distance to Wrigley Field, and the $25 parking garage for the whole day is very reasonable for Chicago! Front counter attendant was very friendly. Will definitely stay here again.

I will start by saying I’m unfamiliar with Chicago and decided on this location because it was about equidistance between two places I visited during my stay. Keep this in mind as I’m only comparing this to other cities I’ve stayed in. The cost felt like robbery for a disappointing room and awful customer service. The room was frigid cold when I got in: I turned on the heat and my room smelt so bad (maybe urine?) that I just turned the unit off. Honestly: the room had an odor overall, like it was a stuffy room with drunk and sweaty guests staying there previous nights. The walls were so thin I could hear everything from both my nextdoor and upstairs neighbors, which was unpleasant since they woke me up at 5am. Customer service was poor. The gentleman who was working when I arrived was beyond rude, more like shockingly impolite to the point where it turned my mood sour. I honestly can’t recall a time I’ve ever had anyone be so blatantly rude in the hotel industry to me. Fortunately the woman who worked after him the same day was much nicer. I suspect the nice mid-day lady works in a toxic workplace. I am glad I only had to stay there one night. This hotel makes me question whether Chicago is worth visiting again. Even though I was a tourist new to Chicago, at the price I paid I would have expected a comfortable nights rest, welcoming customer service, and a cleaner room.
