We had a full bed for the parents and bunkbeds for my two young adult boys who didn’t want to sleep together in the same bed at the hotel so it worked out well for our family. The LINKIN PARK area was really enjoyable and had lots to do and what we couldn’t do close to us. We could go on the owl for five dollars a day and get to wherever we need to be so we got to go to Chinatown and we went to the Christialkind Market and then we were able to come back and see the Lincoln park lights. It was awesome.

The Chicago Getaway Hostel was perfect for a quick solo trip! It was conveniently located near lots of businesses and restaurants. My only complaint was that I found large hair balls in my room. So I would suggest and a more in-depth join at cleaning/vacuuming.
