A perfect spot — excellent value for money! The staff were very friendly, the rooms spotless, and the location ideal for exploring the city. It’s very easy to reach from the highway, and parking is super convenient — I really appreciated that!

We had a lot of flight issues on our travel to Chicago, and the hotel was easy to work with around those issues. We were able to quickly check in when we finally arrived and take a quick nap before going out to explore the city. The rooms were clean and we didn't have any complaints about the beds or anything else. We had breakfast each day at the little deli on the corner, which was absolutely delicious. Our only two complaints were probably related to the location - (1) it's a little bit of a walk from the nearest metro stop, and (2) we ended up hearing really loud cars on the nearby streets in the middle of the night. Neither of those are really things that the hotel can do anything about, but they were small complaints.

I stayed overnight and the room was very clean. The bed was well made. The room size was good, and the bed was very comfortable. I would have liked for some type of AC control though as the room got hot. The neighbor on the other side of the wall turned his TV loud at 4 o'clock in the morning and woke me up, so I could not get back to sleep. Other than that, I'd definitely stay there again.
