This is a super cute vintage looking hotel. We stayed on the night of 29th November. The private quad is perfect for friends to crash for the night. The view from our room was nice. The bar and the lounge on the first floor was super cute and nice. Special mention to the receptionist - I forgot to ask his name, but African American dude. He is the best. Amazing hospitality from the staff.

It’s a cute place, and you pay for what you get. Bring ear plugs. Our room was super loud, and right next to a parking garage. The room was cozy, and the updated aspects felt like a nice addition. Our bathroom had a leak and it made the bathroom smell like pee. Couldn’t really use the bathroom trash can because it needed to catch the water. Let the staff know when we left, but didn’t say much about it. Hope it gets fixed.
The breakfast bar was awesome, literally the bar in the front. Great coffee and a good little breakfast. Lastly, the bar in the back is not to be missed, super fun, with an amazing staff.
Thank you for having Ron de Barilito on the back bar!

A perfect hotel for travelers looking for a clean, convenient place to stay without paying extra for fancy accommodations.
If you just need a clean and comfy bed, a toilet, and a shower this is the way to go for sure.
Staff and service were great. Location can’t be beat. Everything felt clean and comfortable.

Small room, but quiet and met my needs just fine. The room was clean and comfortable. The only things I would have liked to have seen would be an outlet near the desk area (only ones were near the bed) so I could more easily utilize the desk for working and a coffee maker, but honestly it worked out just fine. The staff were great from the bar to the front desk. Enjoyed my experience and plan to stay again as I visit Chicago regularly.

Really cool Art Deco hotel centrally located.
Only complaint with the room was our bed, it was well worn and sat really low to the floor.
Our room was small but adequate and our bathroom and shower were functional.
We spent a little bit of time in the cocktail bar that was like a speakeasy. Dimly lit with lots of nooks and comfortable seating.
The cocktails were good but definitely on the pricey side starting at $18.
When you're spending $43 a round with tip for 2 people it adds up quickly.
We actually found some reasonably priced drinks within walking distance of our hotel.
Definitely priced well and couldn't have asked for a better location.
Overall a great place to stay within walking distance of everything.

I pre-paid 100% on Trip.com after booking this hotel. Upon arrival, hotel demanded me to pay additional $180 called "Chicago city resort fee". I talked to other guests in the hotel and none of them was charged for this fee. I'm also originally from Chicago and never heard about such fee before. Everyone works at the front desk was SO MEAN. They all looked like gang members, kind of scary. The service guy who came to my room to fix the light had just smoked ****, and my entire room smelled like **** after he left. After checking into the room, it is SO SMALL, my suitcase barely fit in there. The room looked nothing like the picture. The bed is surrounded by 3 walls, I'm only 5'5 and I can barerly straight my legs laying down. Also, it is the dirtiest room I had ever stayed, and I have stayed in LOTS of hotels because I do travel for a living. Their laundry rooms and work out room are downstairs in the basement and so tiny without any window. I originally paid for 10 nights and checked out only 2 days. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. I would have rated zero if there's that option.

Be aware there's a USD16 resort fee. The staff at the counter is not very friendly but the room is ok. For shared room, there's curtain and outlet at each bed.

Great value, super central location, great roommates met. A good stay. But remember to bring a lock, and the locker is not big, can not fit in the suitcase.
Finally, the night view outside the window is very bustling

This place is very close to the city center, the transportation is convenient, the environment is also very good, the room is a little small, but I am very satisfied 👍👍👍👍🥹🥹🥹
