When we walked into our room, the sofa bed was completely taken apart. And just halfway pushed back in, and all the cabinets were wide open, including the.Refrigerator. it was like somebody tore through there, trying to clean, but then didn't finish. It was weird. The rest of the whole the hotel seemed nice and the people were nice but that was the only weird thing. Trafficking the area is absolutely crazy

This is my go to hotel when in Chicago. It is located in the Hyde Park area and I have stayed at this hotel 4 times and will not stay anywhere else. The staff are amazing, the location works for me and there is plenty of restaurants as well as a movie theatre across the street as well as coffee shops and breakfast in the hotel. There is also a very well known cafeteria around the corner with great prices. Very clean and staff is very helpful and nice. Love this hotel.

The front decks staff were not that friendly. There were a lot of extra costs like parking that we did not know about parking in that area. Cost us about $50 just for one night. The train is pretty accessible, which was nice.
