Very Good

I really liked the location, close to Belmont Purple Line (this matters as the Blue line doesn't go through)
Clean, and although the property isn't staffed they were responsive.
Easy in and out. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom with a good shower. Nowhere to set your suitcase or hang clothes though. Very small space, worked for us because we were not really in the room. Clean and nicely taken care of though. Felt safe and comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very centrally located. Easy check in and clean room
everything went smoothly , only thing would be there is no check in desk or staff.. from what i noticed also no early check in what so ever which was a bummer since i had an early flight. everything else was perfect, i think this is great for a small stay , the train station is nearby and some great easy restaurants. shared restroom. room was small but mighty.
Just in an amazing location and it's so modern and clean up to par and just what I needed at the right time!

Exactly what we expected based on what we were told. Clean room and quiet. Great location and great value. Cheesie's and Ann Sathers nearby a bonus. No coffee service but many options in the neighborhood. Would definitely stay again.
Good location. Zero service. No option to store luggage close by. Staff who responded to message through Expedia was dismissive. No flexibility. Not worth the money. Find a real hotel and save the hassle.
This was a nicely kept, recently renovated room and bathroom. However it was small with limited space to hang or unpack clothing. There were limited amenities, no Kleenex, for example, and there was not even a chair to sit on, just the bed. It had a very nice, clean, newly renovated kitchen where you could make coffee or cook if you wanted. It was in a great location with easy access to Wrigley Field and many restaurant choices. If I were only staying one or two nights, it would have been perfect. For a longer stay, it was a bit limited. Communication with the owners was easy, and the electronic access was very convenient.
The room is ideal for 1 person. Small but comfortable. Updated bathroom. Limited supplies out, but they are “ hidden” in the room if you need them. Responsive and live support available via chat on website. Limited staff on site. I stayed on 1st floor. Light seeped through the door, no windows, and creaky floor from 2nd floor occupants. Full kitchen that can be shared. Private bathrooms. 1 block from train station. Easy walking area. Lots of restaurants and stores around. Noise from speak easy came up. Assuming 2nd floor is quieter, I would stay up there next time. Cute spot. Ideal for couples or singles.
