Unique older hotel in great condition in nice area with walkable restaurant choices. Free parking was a huge bonus. Being older, there are some stairs up and down to the lobby. Only feedback would be the computers in the lobby didn't work and the wi-fi was terrible in the room. I needed to print something and the only option was to email it to the hotel then it took 1 hour for it to show up.

This hotel was truly a gem! It's located in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of shopping and restaurants to try. Me and my husband stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. There is plenty of free parking for the hotel guest which is very rare for Chicago and it's surrounding areas. It is also in close proximity to downtown Chicago. The room was very spacious and clean and we loved the old charm of the decor. The only thing that was not the best was that the king size bed was a little too hard for our liking. But we were able to fix that by getting an extra comforter to make it softer. We loved the jazz music that was playing in the lobby, so soothing. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Chicago.

We liked the location, the room and helpful staff. The drawback was that the hotel has a very dated sunken lobby. This made handling luggage too unwieldy without assistance. This includes entering the hotel and room, and exiting at the end of our stay. We and our friends found that to be too much hassle to stay there again.
