Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The space was comfortable, clean, and had a unique vibe. The building has a creative atmosphere with art, music history, and even a coworking space in the lobby, which made it feel more like a community than just a place to sleep. The location is excellent — just a block away from the Grand Avenue Blue Line stop — which made it super easy to get around the city. I also met some interesting people in the common areas, and the staff was friendly and made check-in easy. If you’re looking for something authentic, local, and a bit different than a standard hotel, Grand House is a great choice. Would definitely recommend for travelers who want a creative, social, and comfortable private stay in Chicago.
