The staff were great. The only issue I had was the temperature in the rooms. It was far too hot. I didn't sleep well partially because of that.

Worth the money! This property is in a great location to see a non-tourist experience of Chicago! The bathrooms were not the best, but my room was clean. Overall, worth the price!
