Awful Neighborhood-You Will Not Get A Good Nights Sleep
Room 541
This hotel is located in a terrible neighborhood, 10 minutes away from downtown, next to a subway.
There were fights below my window at the bus stop in the afternoon and at night when the bar let out. 
The subway train went by my window every 5-10 minutes until 6-7pm and then every 30 minutes until midnight. It would start up again around 4:30am.
The street itself was very busy with buses and heavy traffic. Cop cars and fire trucks went blaring by every other hour or so all night and day.
The bed was alright but the sheets were scratchy and I needed to pile on the extra blanket to keep warm.
They do not replace the soaps at all. I understand not doing so for a 2 day stay but this is unacceptable for a 4 day stay.
No HBO or HDTV to soften the blow of staying here.
The "sports" bar was overpriced and the food was ok at best and took a long time to get to us. (I will say this, bartender Lamar was the one saving grace for this establishment, he made us feel welcome and profusely apologized for the delay, even though it wasn't his fault)
Bottom line : If you are going to attend a convention at the McCormick DO NOT STAY HERE!
Go somewhere else and pay the extra cab fare.
