The hotel is a bit older, but the room was very nice and clean! In the BEST location. It was very convenient to walk around -- many food places and stores (CVS, target).

Very clean, staff was super nice and the beds are big and comfy. The water pressure of the shower is literally perfect as well. I will definitely come back here in the future if I'm ever in Chicago.
