    This hotel is in a great location, near the Magic Mile, Grocery Store , a short walk to the Chicago Riverside and Loop. Room clean, large bathroom. Good Bar. All in all, good budget hotel.

    They're very friendly and fixed our heat issue, someone came to fix it and after a couple of hours we had heat, they also have us a small portable unit. Walls are very thin and most people are loud at night. Bed was ok, small bathroom but it had everything needed. Limited but just enough for a quick trip if you want to be accessible
    6.4 / 10.0Average·Mar 2026
    Hi, I stayed at this property for two nights and had an extremely disappointing experience. Although I specifically requested a non‑smoking room, the smell of marijuana was present throughout my entire stay. I was placed in a room with a window facing the parking garage, where car alarms went off repeatedly throughout the night, making it difficult to sleep. I requested a room change, but this was never accommodated. Due to the noise, odors, and overall conditions, my boyfriend and I ultimately stayed at a friend’s house for the second night. The hotel refused to refund us for that night or move us to a separate room, despite our concerns. The room itself had multiple issues. The lamp was broken (and although it was repaired, it still provided little to no light), and all lighting fixtures, including the overhead light, were physically covered, leaving the room very poorly lit. As a woman, I had to use my phone flashlight just to do my makeup. The room was extremely small, the pillows were uncomfortable, and the floors were dirty. There was visible dust on the fixtures, the mirror was dirty, and several power outlets did not work. In addition, the hallways, stairwells, and common areas throughout the hotel were poorly lit. With only two elevators servicing approximately 15 floors and hundreds of guests, wait times were excessive and inconvenient. I was also charged a “resort fee” that I was never informed about in advance. When I contacted the hotel regarding the return of my deposit, which was a separate charge - it has yet to be refunded. Overall, I am highly disappointed by the staff’s unwillingness to resolve these issues, provide alternatives, or take accountability. I would absolutely not recommend staying here unless you are comfortable with poor cleanliness, hidden fees, unprofessional service, and sleepless nights.
