Great Location for the city and Blues Festival
We booked this hotel because of its location, walking distance of Grant Park for the Blues Festival, and were not disappointed. From room 1004 we had a wonderful view of the river. The room was narrow but comfortable and had everything we needed. We liked the no frills/self service style of hotel as we really only want somewhere comfortable to sleep. It has a bar and restaurant but we didnt use them as there was so much choice only a short walk in any direction. Its very handy for the "EL" too. In fact we got the Blue Line Train from O'Hare for only $2.25 dollars and walked to the hotel from Clark/Lake station. The Hotel is also in a great location for the River Cruises and the Chicago Tourist Office. We enjoyed one of their walking tours led by a volunteer.
