Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago
Lovely staff, basic clean room, great location in the Loop. Halls are a little sad, no safe in room to store valuables when out and about. The vending machines don't seem to get restocked. We did appreciate the refillable/reusable water bottles and filling stations.
