Fine if seeking only convenience and no frills
This hotel has a great location being about ten minutes from Lake Shore Drive attractions, literally next door to Chinatown, and minutes from highways 90, 94 and 55. The hotel is also close to the bus lines. The surrounding neighborhood isn't fancy but didn't seem unsafe. The major perk (and primary reason I stayed here) is that this hotel offers FREE parking and wi-fi! The parking lot is huge but the hotel emphasizes that's there's no guaranteed parking as it is first come, first serve. These freebies are a major bonus for a hotel located so close to the attractions. The hotel rooms themselves are huge. Again, there's nothing fancy in the rooms. The downside is that the rooms need some updating and detail cleaning. The carpet in my hotel room was stained all over (looked like old food and beverage stains). That was a major turnoff. And the sheets were a scratchy cotton material so they weren't particularly comfortable. Bottom line, this hotel worked for me for a couple of nights stay but I wouldn't stay there again. It may work for someone for whom the convenience of the location, free parking, and wifi are most important but I would rather try a hotel with a better presentation (i.e. clean carpets) next time.
