The hotel is trying for a funky vibe - sometimes though you just want the basics - like a glass in your room so you can get a drink of water!

Super quick check in. Great location. Friendly staff. Cleaner worked in with us. Make sure you have heaps of quarters for the washing, there is no coin dispenser on site. The help desk at the supermarket on the corner came to the rescue but I had to take $10 worth (which was fine, we had heaps to do).

Close to Everything!
The location of this place is perfect! Easy walk to all the major attractions (Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park, Navy Pier etc.) and around the corner from a subway station. The space was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was a good bonus.

Bit smaller than expected
Room was a bit small, definitely didn't look like the photos of the room, felt more like a cruise ship cabin.
