It was very nice and well maintained, room was super hot without window open but that’s not a big deal, definitely need to me more open about the fact that’s it’s a shared space kind of hostel thing cuz I was unaware till arrival and I’ve seen many others also not get enough warning other then “shared fridge and microwave” on the page but overall good for price

It's a good place if you was traveling with a group. That way your group would get the entire floor.

Great bang for your buck.
Small, comfortable room. Nothing special, but nothing negative to say about it either. Customer service is excellent.

It was very easy to get in and the interior was clean and beautiful. However, I had trouble sleeping in my bed (very little to no airflow in the bedroom) and would suggest bringing a bedside fan if you stay here in the summer. Otherwise our stay turned out great!

I had a great two-night stay at this property in Chicago. The bus stop right in front made it easy to get to Navy Pier, and the location was very accessible. Communication with the property management was smooth, and they were responsive to any inquiries. The place was clean, quiet, and just right for my stay.

I did not like the place because of two things. The location is lot the best area. The property charged me for an extra fee due to a major event two days prior to my check in. Unethical and wrong. For the cost I could have stayed at a better location. And the room I stayed had a gas meter that smelled at times.

We had a amazing stay in this property. The rooms were clean. There is a bus station right infront of the property so its quite easy to travel anywhere from there. Overall I'd highly recommend it.

The room was small but clean. The stairs were hard to climb while carrying luggage and personal items. There was no information on things like restaurants and shops close to the property. There was no information on the other party on the floor. There was only one washcloth & towel. Street noise made sleeping difficult.

I booked a reservation for three people and they gave me a tiny room with two bunk beds plus I was not aware we were going to share the space with other guests. This place is very terrible, don't waste your money here.
