Liked: Cleanliness
Positives: Bed was super comfy and the staff was lovely. Close to Northerly Island. Next to Paris baguette. Negatives: Thin, old (really old) towels. No handheld shower. Narrow bathroom. Super-thin toilet paper. Hotel and rooms are showing their age. Rooms need fresh paint.

Joyce

Disliked: Cleanliness
The towels were thin and dingy gray, the vent above the shower head was filthy (yes, some people do look up and notice such things). The pillows were lumpy, the furniture looked rather beat up. The space under the door let in too much bright light from the hallway. The location is great. The accommodations were adequate for out needs, but it could - and should - be so much better.

Good distance to Soldier Field, friendly staff. Extremely run down. Elevator - loud, shaky, small. Furniture broken, had to use band aids to hold a drawer shut on nightstand otherwise it was open at all times. Needed to get our fridge replaced night one. The shower curtain was too small so water leaked all over the bathroom and into the room on the carpet which was damp throughout our stay. The tub faucet did not work properly so you had to turn the handle for an undetermined amount of time until you finally had water or it finally turned off. The fan in the bathroom did not work so it was very damp in there. The air conditioning was so inconsistent the room temperature was either like an ice box or a sauna. Beds, pillows were extremely uncomfortable. The light inside the door made a loud noise and flickered multiple times every time we turned it on. We did call about a couple issues night one and they addressed them but the number of problems that continued to pop up was so overwhelming. Add into this factor the dank and dreary, chipped up paint everywhere in the building and the musty smell it just was too much to try to run from. This hotel was so overpriced and so miserable. I would not recommend a stay here.

Location is good. Hotel is clean. It is an older hotel but is in ok condition. The worst part were the towels. They really need better towels; I had never seen such thin towels.

Excellent location to walk to all the sites and attractions. Further away from the branded shops but still walkable at a stretch. The staff are good but Francesco , the house staff, is exceptional. Friendly , happy and always doing something. Paris baguette located on the ground floor is outstanding for food options but mainly serves sandwiches and Cofee with a n array of fantastic pastries. The morning breakfast deal at Meis’ is a scam. I would go to Paris Baguette for coffee and breakfast.
