Great location, otherwise not great at all
The hotel is conveniently located right across from Grant Park, minutes from the Art Institute. The property itself feels like a hotel in Moscow in the 1960s. Some hallways smelled like smoke; the mattress was uncomfortable and cheap; the bars of soap in the bathroom seemed to be 10 years old. No fridge or mini bar, very small TV screen, you get the idea. The room was perfectly clean, and the staff seemed fine and friendly enough. If you're looking for a very cheap, safe room and are able to get a low rate, then it's fine, but don't go here if you want a romantic outing, or a comfortable time with kids, etc. It's really in very poor shape and I'd be surprised if it lasts much longer.
