Good deal as a place to crash.

Hotel was clean, staff was pleasant. Rooms are very plain, but comfortable. Looking for a place to sleep at night, this is a bargain.

It was better than expected

The place wasn’t too bad. I did not have high expectations or anything of the sort. One thing that was odd there’s no phones in the rooms. But me and a friend booked the room because we went to the city for a concert. Didn’t want to have to drive back really late, so we just had the hotel to sleep in one night and we left long before checkout so it was OK. It wasn’t anything like the review reviews online. The reviews online were horrible and it was not that bad.

Room was dirty. Signs everywhere saying not to smoke and literally the lobby smelt like smoke, the room smelled like cigarettes the towels and the bedding all smelled like cigarettes. The walls were even yellow from cigarette smoke. Then again what do you expect for $100 a night. I got my deposit back thankfully. It was very close to the train, bus stops, some dining and shopping. In a very nice little area. I would stay again till they did something about the cigarette smoke smell.

Only good for the price, that's it.

I can't say many good things about this facility. But to be fair, the cost effectiveness is really high. One of the cheapest hotels in Chicago. I would stay here for this reason only. If you don't need to save money I would not recommend you to stay here. Not very clean place. The isolation between rooms are very weak. You have the possibility to listen to other rooms all night long. The street creates too much noise. To have a couch was good though. Free parking was another "plus". No hairdryer or microwave in the rooms.

A great place if you just need a place to sleep and then move on to other activities. Very clean and easy parking too. Not many amenities but we didn't need them so it worked just great for us.
