The breakfast was not good. You’d think you have more options for the prices but it’s not really any. The ice machine was down on my level had to travel to other floors to get ice. It’s really a motel but upscale because of them doing some decoration.

The room was clean, small. We requested a higher floor and staff accommodated us. Front desk took the time to write out directions how to get to the subway and how to take it to Wrigley Field. He then refused a cash tip and said it was part of his job. Sasha at front door was friendly and helpful. Everyone at front desk was very friendly and helpful.
