I always feel a little duped when you book a hotel and get charged for parking (except in places like NY where you rarely come by car. Exactly what happened on this stay. Other than that, the hotel is very good, and the area is amazing.

Short family overnight for basketball & shopping
Perfect for our overnight stay as a family to see two basketball games Northwestern and Loyola. Easy access to the L. Easy affordable parking. Great walkability for food, shopping, fitness and the L. Comfy and cozy with a view. One door from the parking ramp needs to be repaired and fitness center a bit small. All else was excellent.
