Good Location but not good condition
I booked this hotel because it was close to U of Chicago. Rate was less than downtown and they offer a shuttle to the school. However, the hotel is really old and in bad need of renovation. Signs everywhere say they are renovating but it still looks old and I saw no evidence of the renovation. My room was on the Lake Shore side and the noise from traffic was very loud. The restaurant buffet was overpriced. Service ok. If you can get a really low rate, don't mind a really old hotel and noise it is ok. Good location in Hyde Park but a little questionable at night. I suggest paying a little more and getting something else.
