Perfect location and great price!
Everything was great. The staff was very friendly, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was all we needed (including great coffee and a very friendly breakfast staff). The only negative I can think of is that the room lights could have been brighter, especially the bathroom!

Nice hotel, amazing staff
Great staff, good location, had a bit of a hiccup where the hotel overbooked our first night, and had to walk us to a less than ideal hotel. They did get us back the next morning which worked out great.

The Perfect Place
The hotel was amazing! The staff was so accommodating to our every need. From the time we checked in to the time we checked out, the staff was so friendly. I enjoy talking with Javier and Diana every morning during breakfast. The hotel was so clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The hotel is located in the perfect place downtown Chicago near a lot of attractions and walking distance to shops and restaurants.
