10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our time at the hotel. The room was exceptionally clean, the view was stunning, and every interaction with the staff was quick, helpful, and efficient. The parking was also a big plus — very convenient, easy to access, and we felt that the car was safe there. We didn’t have a chance to use the pool or try the breakfast because we already had other plans, but we definitely hope to enjoy both next time. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily recommend this hotel to others. We’ll definitely be back!"

"The location is amazing, The locked parking is super helpful. But the property is very old and even though they are currently remodeling the room we stayed in was still terrible. Hopefully soon the remodel will be done. Right now expect ruined paint, junky elevator and construction happening around you."

"Great location and nice lobby. Unfortunately, the lobby bar is closed on Sundays. Rooms are fairly nice and the lack of air conditioning is rarely an issue. Outlets near the bed are awkward to reach (near the floor) but there is a nice power strip on the desk. Chain pull to control fan was not working, so I had to turn the light/fan off to turn off the fan."

"Super quirky and cool place. We got a room with its own bathroom. Room is very small, no TV and the barn style bathroom door almost fell on me while I was sleeping. We let the staff know and he was very apologetic, really nice fellow, I with I could remember his name. It was also close to a ton of cool places. I would definitely stay again."

"Overall, the hotel is fairly budget, friendly for the area, but comes with a couple of disadvantages. Parking is $35 per vehicle and a very tight structure, there are no refrigerators in the rooms, and overall it’s just a bit older. Breakfast was complementary, which was standard for most hotel of this level. Overall nothing negative to say. Decent location and very close to Lombard street"
