10/10 Exceptional

Clean comfy room and super fast/easy/smooth keypad check in
Y, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved staying here, nice clean rooms, perfect little kitchen. I suggest booking a room on the 3rd floor so you don't have to walk anymore of the stairs. Lol! Entrance and carpet up to rooms could be updated. Very central to everything, restaurants and bars right outside your door. I would stay here again and highly recommend

We were on the top floor & we are 75 years old! Also no coffee in the room or tv. WiFi was good though.

Super easy to find, super easy to check in, great walk to Salt Shed.

10/10 Exceptional

No TV and no parking was a bummer. As long as you have your own laptop w/ Netflix or Amazon Prime & you are Ubering/Lyfting everywhere - it's perfect. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location and price were great. The room was big for a city hotel and clean. This is a walk-up and the steps are very very steep. The water pressure in the shower was poor and the temperature was scalding hot. There is no staff so we would have had to call or text.

Nice place!

Cute little place in a great location. Entry and exit was a breeze. Very nice room and very very convenient.
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall room was good. The climb up the stairs with no elevator and heavy luggage was not fun. And I think a tv and a few more guest amenities in the room would improve the accommodations. Area around the room is very nice. Lots of cute shops and delicious restaurants

Great room! Great view of the skyline from my balcony. A little unique but I enjoyed it.

Very easy to access and within walking distance of everything we needed for our stay.
Alexa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay; room was perfect. Spacious, clean, elegant. Beautiful backyard courtyard with a waterfall fountain gave me a secluded space to relax outside in a very busy neighborhood. The neighborhood was awesome too, so much to see, eat and do. I also got the best massage of my life from the ruby room spa.
Katherine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice spacious rooms and I love that I can check in without having to talk to anyone. We only stayed one night but it was a great experience.

Great location

Great space in a very convenient location. Lots of restaurants in the area and easily walkable to The Salt Shed. Stairs ARE narrow and steep but didn’t bother us.
Kimberly, 1-night trip

I really enjoyed staying at this property. The room was very lovely and even without a front desk their customer service is very prompt and helpful.
Julia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a cozy room in the center of a safe area in Chicago. It’s really pretty and a lot to do right when you step out of the building. Highly recommend!!
