The rooms were clean. The staff was very helpful. It was a very busy week with college move ins, concerts, festivals and sporting events in the area, but they kept it all running smoothly.

Great location - walking distance to both Orange line (Midway) and Blue line (OHare) cta L stops. Across from the park, near Art district. Some great restaurants also close by. Comfortable rooms, very nice staff. Definitely recommend!

10/10 Exceptional

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made me feel right at home. The hotel was beautiful, clean, and well maintained, and the room was comfortable, spacious, and exactly what I needed after a long day. The only thing I would have loved to have was some amenities like a toothbrush and a toothpaste available with some slippers to use instead of walking around with socks.

This hotel is in the perfect spot for Chicago tourism. The Hotel Café and bar is excellent with good service. My only issue was with the woman who checked us in. Her manner was curt, and she talked so fast and quiet that I could not understand anything she said.
