Great location for walking to and visiting Frank Lloyd Wright properties. A few good restaurants in the area, particularly Cairo’s which is a gem. Room always had a strange odor to it. Luckily windows open which helped. Phil’s is great for drinks and munchies.

The bedroom walls are paper thin, I could hear everything from Nextdoor. Staff member who registered me was not at all friendly. A disappointing stay even though it was not cheap.

Unique older hotel in great condition in nice area with walkable restaurant choices. Free parking was a huge bonus. Being older, there are some stairs up and down to the lobby. Only feedback would be the computers in the lobby didn't work and the wi-fi was terrible in the room. I needed to print something and the only option was to email it to the hotel then it took 1 hour for it to show up.

This hotel was truly a gem! It's located in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of shopping and restaurants to try. Me and my husband stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. There is plenty of free parking for the hotel guest which is very rare for Chicago and it's surrounding areas. It is also in close proximity to downtown Chicago. The room was very spacious and clean and we loved the old charm of the decor. The only thing that was not the best was that the king size bed was a little too hard for our liking. But we were able to fix that by getting an extra comforter to make it softer. We loved the jazz music that was playing in the lobby, so soothing. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Chicago.
