Amazing hotel stay - 5 STARS all the way
This hotel is amazing. Easy fast check in. They gave us 4 cards as we were for 4 adults. Checked into the hotel room and we were all very delighted by the space and the 4 bunk beds. Just like the pictures on hotels.ca. LOVED it. Highly recommend. It is walking distance from everything downtown (Starbucks, 7eleven, Trader Joes, restaurants, pubs, shopping at your footsteps. Perfect location. Quiet room and big shower with private toilet. Beds were very comfortable. Great secure rooms and needed to tap your card for the elevator. 5 STARS all the way.

The location is amazing, close to all the attractions and steps away from the Magnificent Mile. The hotel was average, clean and comfortable enough. Price was fair.

Great location BUT
Excellent location but leaves a lot to be desired especially for the price. It is really a youth hostel with some guest rooms. Room was very small. Hallways were very narrow and very tired.
