SUSAN, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was really hot outside and our room was not very cool so we were uncomfortable. Besides that it was a nice stay.
Carrie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We liked the location of the hotel and it's old school charm. The hotel seems a little musty and needs to be freshened up a bit.
Ann, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved this historic hotel. The staff was fantastic. It was clean. They had robes and a full and pretty reasonably-priced minibar and snack selection in the room. Our only issue was that the bathroom light was on a motion sensor that was set on a timer for about 3 minutes, so the lights kept going out when we were showering. Walkable to Wrigley. Great neighborhood. We felt safe. We would stay here again!
Ashley, 2-night trip
