Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Amenities are nothing like what was shown on Expedia. The entire complex appears to have been abandon or is the process of being abandoned. I saw several rooms on the property that appeared to have been half-way in construction attached to properties that appeared to have been abandoned. The room gives you cups and an ice container but there are no ice-machines on the property. Rooms were just okay, nothing impressive. Lighting could be better. Television systems had poor reception and couldn’t use chrome cast despite the TV’s own function. Property could stand to be more upfront of its current status of development.

A solid 3-star hotel. It was neat and clean, felt safe and was convenient to attractions and downtown Chicago. It's one of the few places with onsite parking, which was a major consideration. Nothing within walking distance, but a lot of restaurants and amenities a short drive away.
