Interesting the last question about parking. I had seen a note about available on site parking when I made and paid reservation. I use a cane and have a handicapped sign on my car. When I came back to the hostel I checked the lot behi d the building and there were three spots open in the small lot. I came inside and asked if I could pay to have parking in The small lot behind the buding...I was told yes and I was happy to pay the $32 for the 10 hours I would be parked there. When I got out my wallet to pay the front desk worker said the parking was sold out even though those three spots were open late on a Saturday night. I drove around the neighborhood and did not find any street spacecloser than about 6 blocks away. Did Imention I walk with a cane and wS bri ging my cpap machine to my room...Ihope the city of Chicago does not tow my car on Sunday Morning. Otherwise this was a perfect place to stay and allother front desk workers had been excellent. This latenight young .an was nice too but afraid to sellme a 10hour parki g space for 10hours.

Traveling as cheap as you can is still expensive!
Very spartan, one desk, one plastic outdoor chair. 50 dollar damage deposit returnable after a few days. Safe and comfortable, full kitchen if you are a gourmet chief. TV room, pool table but ball return broken. Great area for walking and exploring. Lots of dog walkers, with some beautiful dogs. Great old houses. Parking was 39 dollars a day I believe. Great employees!
