RAN-DOWNA-INN
We checked in on July 16, 2012. There was a mix-up with the room, which was handled efficiently with no issues. Upon entering the room, I caught a whiff of the moldy rug/carpets, which could have used deodorizing. Just let me cut to the quick: The toilet seat was falling off, coffee machine broken, WiFi repeatedly down, TV very blurry and the elevators were very slow. We reported the commode seat issue and was advised someone would be up to our room, we are still waiting on that "someone."
There was no ice on any floors after day one (we stayed four). Fortunately we brought our own sheets and bed bug spray (I highly recommend this in any hotel), yes the beds were comfortable. 
The pool was satisfactory, staff very pleasant, cafe next door was nice also. The hotel sits right across from Lake Michigan, therefore, you have a great view.For the money it was just OK, the convenience to the city is priceless. Hyde Park is a nice area for walking, dining, and experiencing the arts.
