Value hotel, just sleep there, though
To be fair, SPG just bought this place, and I think are in the process of updating it. The place is old, the one elevator is slow and tiny,* and the rooms smell a lot like Ditka's next door if the window is open (which I found delicious). Basically, treat this place as a convenient location to sleep in downtown Chicago. You're not going to hang out at this place, go to one of the awesome bars in Chicago instead. For the price, it's totally worth it.
*Have one of the staff call the service elevator for you if the wait is busy at the regular elevator.
