I booked the hotel because of the very attractive rate of $86/night and was expecting bare-bones. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service, the comfort, and the overall attractiveness of the hotel. The front desk staff was very accomodating (albeit, a little overwhelmed) and the room was always spotless.

The continental breakfast was decent (coffee, muffins, cereal, nothing hot).

The best part of this hotel is the location. You can't beat it, especially for the price. It's literally steps from the magnificent mile, and about a 10 minute walk to navy pier. There are also several pharmacies, convenience stores, and restaurants nearby.

I will DEFINITELY consider staying here again.

I can't say enough about this hotel! When I have stayed in minimally priced hotels in larger cities, I pretty much only expect a queen size bed in a closet size room. We were terribly pleased with our room, the King sized bed was comfy and the bathroom was large with the extra treat of a handheld massage shower. The staff was very nice and we enjoyed a late night wind down in the seating area outside. This hotel is a block from Michigan ave, and is walking distance from a bunch of cool restaurants and nightclubs, if that is your intent. Valet Parking is $42 a night, and well worth the price. We foolishly thought we would save money by parking the rental outside of the city and take the metra, TRUST me, save money- park at the hotel.
He and I are planning a trip back to the city this summer, and we plan to stay here again!

Stayed here 2 nights to attend a trade show at McCormick Place. Location is 1 block from Magnificent Mile shopping. Many restaurants within 2 blocks. Friendly staff. We arrived at 10AM and our room wasn't ready so we left our bags with the bellman who promised to take them to our room later. When we returned, the bags were still secured in the storage area. We brought them up ourselves.

Our room was located 10' from the elevators but was so well inuslated that unless the door was open, there was no distraction. The room was clean except for the one 9" long hair on the back side of a bath towel hanging on the rack. Needless to say, that one went straight to the floor and I used another.

Free breakfast included freshly made do it yourself waffles, cold cereals, breads and bagels, donuts, muffins.

This place was no better or worse than any olf the other hotels I've stayed at in Chicago over the years.

We were in town for a Blackhawks game and Valentine's Day and we were joined by two other couples. We all had separate rooms and all had very good experiences with all facets of our stay. Check in was an easy and friendly experience, our rooms were very clean and perfect for our needs. Check out was Noon so it gave some extra time to sleep in and still catch some of downtown Chicago. Location is perfect for all of the downtown attractions. No pool or hot tub which I would prefer on an extended stay or if I were bringing children but it was perfect for a one or two night stay.
