I only stayed for one night but I enjoyed it so much! I arrived early and was able to store my bags until check in. The man who greeted me at check in was very welcoming and kind. My room was so comfortable! The bed was extra cozy. I slept so well. I also enjoyed the type of bed fittings.The bathrooms were very clean and functional. I loved the sitting space with all the books you can read. It's not on the quietest street lol horns were blaring for quite a bit but personally I enjoyed the energy and had a nice time just people watching from the window. If noise bothers you, bring ear plugs. 10/10 will stay here again.

Since Covid... The price more than doubled, and there is no breakfast anymore. There is lovely new paint, it was skillfully done in nice colors. My single room had a comfortable twin bed, a tiny shelf fixed to the wall, a hook on the wall, a bright overhead light/fan, and nothing else. Austere, or maybe even grim, and a challenge to stay organized over a 3 night stay. A chair, a small table or dresser, a couple more hooks, hangers, would make it right. A table lamp or standing lamp would make it much more comfortable. Oddly there were four outlets - you could plug in 8 electrical appliances all in at once! The 3rd floor bathroom sinks didn't have hot water. But I just went down a floor where the hot water was fine so it was a minor inconvenience. All the people were kind and friendly. The manager was helpful and welcoming. The location is perfect, and even as the price went up so much since my last stay, it is still affordable compared to any place in the area.

We stayed here for one night to go to a concert at Soldier's Field. Our room was a private room with 2 twin beds. The room had a ceiling fan which was nice because we were on the 4th floor and it was a little warm in there. I didn't see a thermostat to be able to adjust the temperature, which might be a problem in July or August but luckily it was in the low 60s outside that night. The room did have a window but I didn't check if it opened or not, that might also help with temperature control. The shared bathroom was right across the hall from our room which was nice. There were 2 toilet stalls, 3 shower stalls and a double sink. I was worried about it being super busy in the women's bathroom but it was never an issue, we never had to wait to use the restroom or shower. Of note, there was nothing else in our room except the 2 twin beds and a small garbage can. There was no TV, no hooks or hangers, no extra blankets or pillows, but we didn't need any of those things. There was an outlet in the room with a very small shelf on the wall above it so we had a place to charge our phones overnight. It served the purpose of an affordable, safe place to sleep for a night with access to a bathroom and shower.

We took the train into Chicago and it was walkable distance from Union Station. Considering all other options we found for hotels close to Soldier Stadium were over $500 a night this was worth the $200 a night. It wouldn’t be for everyone as you do share a bathroom and kitchen/living room area but we were gone so much that it was a perfect place just to sleep.

It was great for what I needed. Bed was decently comfortable for one night. More importantly, the bed was clean. The price was cheap compared to the hotels, especially in my case. Service was great, check in & check out are super easy. I’d come back for sure.

My train was delayed by 9 hours so instead of arriving at 430 pm it was 130 am. The gentleman stayed just for my arrival of which I was so grateful as a solo female traveler. He was welcoming and kind for this weary traveler and even said "have to keep the kids safe" when I thanked him. Very kind. Rooms clean. Bathrooms clean. A great place to stay!
