This was the noisiest, most chaotic place I've ever stayed and in which I sought a night's sleep. Upon arrival I could not compel the WIFI to work with my computer, only to be told by the desk that it had been "down" with little or no interest or regard for my plight (I was trying ot communicate with work).

The first night we (my daughter and I) were assigned a secon story room, quite old and a bit moldy, that turned out to be accross the street from a "rave" club. Oh, nightmare of nightmares! Three nights of that noise and vibration.

The sescond night I tried to take my son back to his hotel (we were there to here him present a paper) I was told there might be no spot for my car when I returned. I informed the desk fellow who told me this that I had paid for the room in advance with the understanding parking was part of the deal (with WIFI, which NEVER worked, ha!). He ignored me as usual and said good luck. I did find a single space when I returned about 10pm.

This place is a rediculous, even by big, cold city standards. It is OFF my list for my next stay in Chicago. My poor daughter never slept, though I think she forgave me for the error.

My husband and our 2 children spent a night here last week so we could get an early start at the Shedd Aquarium the next day. Although the rooms (we were in B1) were very small, they were very well arranged. The rooms were very clean except if you move furniture (dropped an earring) and then you might see something yellow on the wall (ewww) but who normally goes back there anyway? The water pressure was outstanding! The location was incredible - very convenient to so much really. Portillo's, Art Institute, Shedd, museums, Rock n Roll McDonalds, etc. The only issues we had were that the heater in the room was very very noisy (loud CLACK) every 30 minutes it kept the room comfortable on quite a cold night and heated up in minutes after our arrival. The front desk staff was professional and courteous. The night watchman was a little creepy. Free parking, which is a HUGE bonus in Chicago. They also had a really cute little diner attached which we didn't eat at but I'd like to try at our next stay maybe. I would describe it as "no frills but perfectly acceptable", although they DID have a blowdryer, an iron, a fridge, a coffee maker, a TV, an alarm clock, a phone, a table, little shampoos, conditioners, soaps, generous number of towels, so yeah - maybe the frills were there afterall.

I stayed in this hotel the first week of Nov at a historic time for Chicago as a stranger in town I was suprised by the quality of the hotel, having read the reviews, I expected a drug dealer to be found dead in my bath tube, but no
The staff were very friendly the room was clean and the bed was large and the price was reasonable, and I must give some praise to the staff in the restaurant out front, the food was great especially the fetta omlette

I booked 1 night before for under 90$
it was good for the price and location. It is a short bus ride down La Salle into the Loop. The area just next to the hotel isnt the best but I still felt safe. Staff was nice and held my bags while I was in the city. Little noisy in the morning with doors closing and house keeping cleaning in the hall. Also trash pick up must be close because I heard it in the morning, If you are not a sound sleeper, it may be annoying. overall, its a good hotel, maybe should be called a motel.
