The room was clean, small. We requested a higher floor and staff accommodated us. Front desk took the time to write out directions how to get to the subway and how to take it to Wrigley Field. He then refused a cash tip and said it was part of his job. Sasha at front door was friendly and helpful. Everyone at front desk was very friendly and helpful.
