"Quick 15 minute walk from the Metro. At the airport, I purchased a 72 hour unlimited rides on the train/bus for 72 hours. Very safe, walkable neighborhood. My room was quiet, and reminded me of when I lived in the dorms in college, on a weekend when everyone went home. The window AC and ceiling fan were great. The room was 2 doors down from the women's rest room, where there were four toilet stalls, and 4 individual shower stalls with a sliding lock. It is not luxurious, nor was I expecting it to be. The shared TV lounge, kitchen area were great. The kitchen has cubbies for guests to store their food and use the kitchen. Breakfast included: waffles, toast, 4 kinds of cereal, oatmeal, yogurt. I got my money's worth, and it allowed me to stay an extra day to enjoy Chicago. It was a 15 minute walk to the zoo (free admission). While downtown, I enjoyed the Chicago Art Institute, and Millennium Park is just down the block. The "Bean" was worth it. Also went to Oak Street Beach, clean, and beautiful. Only two cons: the water pressure in the shower was very poor. The main entry is not ADA friendly, I didn't ask them if they had an elevator or ramp through another entrance. I just walked up the uneven steps slowly. Overall, it was excellent and I am coming back with my daughters for a girls' trip. "

"Everyone was very nice and helpful Staff was always polite and made a point to talk to you! Room was exactly like pictured. Very clean and comfortable. Bathroom not very private , can hear everything happening in there ! Great breakfast! Would not recommend parking your car here though. Parking deck is very small and tight. And limited spaces. They do have a list of other areas close by , as I came back from a concert and no parking available! Lobby is on the 3rd floor."
