Good location and price

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Pretty clean and seemed to have been remodeled. Protesters at 5 am right outside were disturbing but outside of the hotel control. They did let us know about it upon check in at least. Overall felt safe, no bugs, decent price. Close parking for a fee. Convenient location.

Terrible experience. Parking should absolutely be free. $65 a night for parking is nothing short of theft. On top of that, the hotel had protesters outside with megaphones, and instead of offering a discount or compensation for the disruption, nothing was done. But just saying sorry. To make matters worse, at checkout my bill was $801 for a 3-day stay because they improperly billed me. After arguing with the front desk, they finally corrected it down to $620. still outrageous, but at least almost $200 less than their mistake. Laughable hotel. I would never return here, even if it were the last hotel available in Chicago.

From the moment we arrived the staff was so friendly and helpful. We were a family of 4 (mom, dad, 19yr, 12yr) in town for a concert. The easy access to the blue line was an added bonus. Room was very clean and comfy and worked well for what we needed. The bathroom is on the small side but we made due. They provided a hair dryer, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion (dove brand in big pump bottles). The housekeeping did an amazing job every day while we were out. Will definitely stay with them again if ever in Chicago.

Protestors

Booked 2 rooms, but both were not ready at check in. They were very apologetic about it. The other issue was the protesting starting at 5:30 am and people screaming into megaphones at the hotel trying to just antagonize the hotel guests and then after that the construction noise picked up for the rest of the morning
