Great location...but needs renovations!
I stayed here from Oct 5 through 10 and the location is excellent if you plan to run the Chicago Marathon. That was the main reason we decided to stay here. However, the hotel needs renovations. We had to request another room because the first one had a strong chemical smell in the bathroom. We just couldn't stand it. The second one was just a bit better. We couldn't regulate the temperature of the room because there is no thermostat. But what really disappointed me was having an invasion of very small cockroaches in the bathroom (at least they were small) every night. There was a missing tile behind the toilet and they were coming from there. We told front desk about the situationseveral times but nothing was done to solve the problem. Only way I will stay here again is if I come back to the Chicago Marathon and find a good rate because the start and finish lines are right across the street.
