Location is convinient

Our room was noisy. With the windows closed and the air conditioning running loudly, the noise of traffic and car horns vibrated in the room. I think we managed to sleep for two hours.

The poolroom patio had a BEAUTIFUL view!!
Maleah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

for the budget conscious it's fine.

This is a nice if somewhat outmoded hotel. The elevators are tiny, slow and cramped. One of them that you need to get to the rooftop fitness center didn't work, which meant you needed to climb seven floors to get to the pool. At $50 per night parking is a bit dear. The pizzeria in the hotel is only okay. I doubt a true Chicagoan would say it's good deep dish. The shrimp fettucine was good.
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was good,no problems. There was no refrigerator.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very conveniently located. But the noise of the air conditioning and outside (the road) are not good.
