Our stay was amazing even though it was a short trip. It was perfect walking distance for us. We walked to the navy pier, the bean, sky tilt and my favorite of all the Harry Potter shop. Weather was beautiful. The room was perfect, the staff was funny and kind. Will definitely book again.

Very friendly staff. Spacious room. Convenient and walkable location. Parking requires extra fee but still reasonable compared to the parking lots nearby. Can be a bit noisy due to the building setup. Overall affordable and pleasant stay.

The staff was very pleasant and the place was clean. Central location. The temperature was the only issue. It was near single digit weather outside and the room stayed cold. The staff was nice about addressing the issue but to no avail. We had to turn on the hot water in the shower for heat.
