I stayed here for the Chicago marathon. It was cheaper than being closer to the start of the marathon. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property was clean. It is close to the 51st/53rd train station to be able to get to the expo at McCormick Place. Public transportation to the start of the marathon was also possible and easy. There was a Whole Foods close by. There were a few restaurants within 1 to 2 minutes outside of the door. I felt very safe walking around this area.

The hotel is in walking distance or a short drive to terrific restaurants and public transit. My husband was able to take the metra straight downtown for the marathon. We didn't eat at the hotel but we're able to utilize a plate and plastic ware to hear up leftovers. The room was spacious and had plenty of space for storage. The bathroom was a bit dark but everything else was terrific!
