I love the area of the property and chose it based off this - sweet, quiet street of st germain and 2 blocks from the metra, perfect location. Upon entry, the lobby was updated, clean and desk person super helpful. But the rooms were quite outdated, I was surprised compared to the lobby and photos in the listing. I found many shops and restaurants nearby to enjoy but there is a pub across the street and a futbol match was on and the crowd was in the streets chanting and shouting until after 2 A.M. I faced the street on the 5th floor and it was very loud, waking me up several times. If you stay, assure there is no match on that night.
