Pleasant vacation in Chicago
This hotel was centrally located in the loop with easy access to many bus routes and the L train system. The convenience of several restaurants within a couple of blocks was also a plus. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were helpful when needed. All in all, a very good value.

The room was small but very well designed, making best use of the space. It was very clean and comfortable. I liked having a Nespresso machine. I will definitely stay here again.

A hidden gem!
Very cozy hotel in the heart of Chicago. My room on the 8th floor was just big enough for one or two people, but the view from the floor to ceiling windows was worth the size! The complimentary purified water dispenser and reusable bottles in the hall paired perfectly with the Nespresso coffee machine in the room. Bathroom was clean, bed was super confortable, and location is close to mass transit from airport and walkable to everything else. I wikl definitely stay here again!

Awesome stay as always. Though the pull-out armchair wasn’t the most comfortable and was missing a blanket.
