what is hotel with a few work around

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were really nice and courteous. There was some unique art work at this hotel that gave the space a welcoming vide. A few things to notate before booking; the elevator is really small; only about four people can get in it at a time without feeling like you are hugging the person next to you. The ice machine is located in the lobby, but if you call the front desk, they will bring you some ice. The mini fridge is a beverage refrigerator, meaning only small drinks can fit in it. In my room, there was no wall outlets near the bed so i had to change my phone across the room. My bed was firm and comfortable, but sit lower than other hotels i’ve been to. overall i enjoyed my stay.

The staff was friendly and happy to assist us. The hotel concept is very unique and we loved staying at the 21c in Cincinnati, however the rooms in Chicago seemed a little worn and dated. We did appreciate the cleanliness of the hotel and the sprucing up of our room each morning.
