Location was great. We could walk to several attractions. If you are going to a bears game very easy to walk to. The bakery/coffee shop connected to it was great. The hotel is a little dated but clean and safe. The only down side was the dog park right next door. I love dogs but waking up at 5 am to the barking is not how i want to wake up.

Overall it’s great. Have an issue with their mandatory valet parking though. There isn’t enough room to park & check-in. We had to park half the car in a no-parking area. Front desk told us they would move it ASAP so we didn’t get a ticket; However, when they returned our car to us, we received a $70 parking ticket on the windshield. Front desk basically told us, “Sorry about your luck.” There is a self-park parking garage a couple blocks away for $70… I would recommend using that instead of the $60 valet parking at the hotel.

Was visiting from Detroit and wanted to celebrate my daughter’s 5th birthday. Upon entering our room, everything was very old, door did NOT close fully, paint chipping on doors, janitors very rude, musty smell NOT worth $200. Called down and complained to front desk who came up observed the room and moved us to the 9th floor. He was very understanding and nice I appreciate him. Breakfast area was fully of gnats, we had to take our food back to the room to eat. I WILL NEVERRRRR return to this hotel or any hotel affiliated.

We booked at this hotel because of its location. We got tickets to the Monday night Bears season opener against the Vikings. This hotel was a super convenient 15 minute walk to Soldier Field. There are plenty of dining options around the hotel and there is a grocery store less than a qaurter mile from it. In terms of the quality of the hotel, it's ok. It's an aging facility with super small elevators. Like many hotels of similar age, it smells old and it shows its age. But the staff keeps the place looking clean and they are responsive to customer needs and requests. Speaking of staff, I had very limited interactions with them but they were friendly and professional when I did interact with them. I'm torn about whether I'd stay there again. This place is close to Soldier Field, the Field Museum, Shed Aquarium and the Planetarium. Given the food options and nearby grocery, it's tough to beat for those looking to visit those attractions. And, the price is very reasonable. But, for those who like newer, modern facilities, you should look elsewhere for your stay.
