So much better than any of the chain hotels. Loved the quaint atmosphere, small but cozy rooms very well laid out. First time I have ever had a heated floor in the bathroom! Very convenient location, blocks away from downtown and about as close as you can get to Northwestern University.

I have stayed here on several occasions and always enjoy my stay. This stay was the best because we got free upgrades and although we came in late at night the staff was friendly like it was a bright afternoon. I look forward to staying here again soon.

I was pleasantly by the condition of the Hotel. An amazing hotel for the price, obviously make sure to book well in advance if your stay coincides with NW University events. The rooms are quaint with high quality furnishings. The hotel is also located walking distance from anything you might want to do during your stay!

Nice, cozy hotel. Website said restaurant was open all day, but in fact it was closed from 10 am - 5 pm and only had limited breakfast options. Staff was nice, and responsive to our requests.

The service was terrible. I had to make each request several times. I was given a room next to a broken elevator making a beeping sound. My room had to be changed for this reason at 2 AM. The person making the change was unkind about it and refused to take responsibility. It was one of the worst hotel stays I've ever had. Very disappointing, as I was exhausted and had looked forward to a comfortable room.
