Very friendly and helpful staff, nice room…very comfortable and spacious. I especially loved that large bathroom with its great shower! I loved the location of the place…very walkable to museums and the theater district. And the cafe next door has excellent food…we ate there every day ( twice for breakfast and once for lunch!
The staff was friendly, the room was really nice, the location was great. The only downfall was the low lighting in the bathroom, but that’s not a deal breaker.
Thank you for a comfortable and relaxing stay in Chicago. Our room was spacious and very nice. Your staff were welcoming and attentive. Location is perfect, walkable distance to so many attractions. We will definitely will be back!
The room was one of the biggest I've ever stayed in. It had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and curtains that open automatically. The bathroom was pretty fancy too. Everything was super clean and the staff really nice.
Excellent accommodations: clean room, friendly staff, great location. Felt cozy, safe and secure. Only minus is the fact that there is no on-site laundry.
