I had a great time there to be honest, no issues at all. From when I walked in to check-in the lady at the desk was more than helpful which was nice because I had a long trip and got into my room easily. I woke up around 8 am and the breakfast was so good I honestly got another plate of it. I traveled with my girlfriend and will be back in the future for more events. Thank you very much for the great stay. Also the beds are firm and clean!!!

Great place to crash for the night.

Nice comfortable place. Dont expect all the bells and whistles, the rooms are pretty sparce but we just needed a place to sleep and for that it was perfect. Seemed pretty clean, and my car was safe in the lot overnight. Id look at it again if I'm back in town for another event.

Rated exceptional, I would give it a solid 2 stars

The people were kind. The only negatives were the bathtubs need resurfacing and new towels would be nice.

It was great. I lost my key card twice i was given a new one both times. I would like to mention someone was at the desk each time i went whether it 9am or 2am. Staff is great. Quick easy check in and check out. Out of all the inconveniences i faced on my trip to Chicago, this hotel was NOT one of them. Wasn’t my first choice but will probably be on my list when i come back
