Great location

Place was clean, couldn't ask for a better location, staff is great. We forgot an item and they were kind enough to ship it out to us. Couldn't ask for better service
Ronald, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

for the budget conscious it's fine.

This is a nice if somewhat outmoded hotel. The elevators are tiny, slow and cramped. One of them that you need to get to the rooftop fitness center didn't work, which meant you needed to climb seven floors to get to the pool. At $50 per night parking is a bit dear. The pizzeria in the hotel is only okay. I doubt a true Chicagoan would say it's good deep dish. The shrimp fettucine was good.
Peter, 1-night trip

The hotel is very conveniently located. But the noise of the air conditioning and outside (the road) are not good.
