Great for the Price

Solid place in the heart of the loop! Staff was friendly and helpful, the bar / lounge was cool, the stairwell's funky art was a nice touch, and my bedroom for four was clean and functional. Can't ask for much more at such a low price!

8/10 Very good

One of the elevators was broken the entire time and made getting to our room and events a slight challenge, but hands down NICEST staff. Quickly got us items we needed and answered questions even pre-arrival, quickly and friendly. Check in and out was a breeze. Staying so close to everything was best part. Rooms were small- but we needed the deal
