This is the 2nd time I've stayed there. Very small rooms (standard) and rather large bathrooms, all was clean. I didn't need any help from the front desk so I don't know how good the staff is but they were friendly when I checked in. The biggest plusses are the price (around $100 including tax) and that the CTA Red... more

It's definitely not a Marriott. But some of the best Dim Sum in the midwest is just a couple of blocks away at the Phoenix. And the red line is two blocks away, and where else can you find a hotel in Chicago for under $85 (book direct) tax included. Lousy TV reception and no view, but I'm not spending... more

Average but excellent for the price. I attended a large convention and the organizers listed all sorts of hotel options, all in the $200 plus range. All far from the convention. This place is walkable to the McCormick place. I would not walk at night. 3 minutes from the Metro. And, best of all right in the middle of a... more

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. Non-smoking rooms reeked of smoke. Front desk was unhelpful (didn't have a firm grasp of English). In particular, the manager was outright rude. I had an incredibly negative experience. I left as it was unclean and disgusting and found another hotel. Do not make the mistake I made and make reservations on Orbitz as you... more

It was what I expected for the price. The room was small but clean. The front desk was not very helpful but did hold on to a few items that I accidentally left behind until I was able to return later that night to pick them up. The parking was about a 2 blocks away from the hotel and a... more

I came by in Sept 2006 for a conference with the plan to stay a few more days to see the sights. No way I could afford the $200/night prices of the typical downtown place for five nights...and that was discounted conference rate! The total would've been more than my monthly rent at that point and I live in LA!... more

First of all, call the place directly. I got a better price than the internet rate. While I agree with one of the reviewers about the street light and the cheap plastic blinds, the overall stay was not bad. The suite had no view to speak of, but the living room area did have a fold out sofa, a love... more

I had a 'deluxe' room here -- the window wouldn't close, and the plastic blinds over window were insufficent to keep out the bright yellow streetlight buring all night just outside the window. I was unable to sleep because of the light, and because of the hum of transformers on the power line just outside. I did not feel particularly... more

Ignore all the bad reviews about this hotel - had a great time there. Staff were friendly and it was right beside the L station. more
