6.8/10

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel, with a good location right near the river and close to various attractions. The rooms were clean, though they had a bit of a stale cigarette smell, and the service was friendly, making me feel welcomed. However, the dining options were quite limited, and I found the room a little cramped for the price paid. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you’re looking for a convenient spot with friendly staff.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were clean and spacious enough for my four-night stay, but they did have a stale cigarette smell; there was also a support beam in the middle of the room, which was a bit disruptive for the layout.

Service

8.0

The staff were super friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable, although I wish I had been informed earlier about the additional payment and deposit.

Location

10.0

The location was fantastic, right on the Chicago River and within walking distance to great sights, shops, and restaurants.

Dining

The dining experience was lacking, as the options were very limited, mainly just M&Ms or Granola bars.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offered basic facilities, but not much beyond that; I didn't utilize any specific amenities.

7.4/10

The hotel is in a prime location right in downtown, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were quite small and not ideal for two people, but the service was genuinely helpful and friendly. The dining options were limited due to renovations, but the free coffee and fresh fruit on the second floor were a nice touch. Overall, it’s a decent stay if you’re on a budget, but the cramped room size was a downside.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were quite small, suitable for one person, but not for two due to the lack of plug sockets and bedside tables.

Service

The hotel was perfect, right in the heart of downtown with easy access to transit and nearby attractions.

Dining

The dining options were limited to just light snacks, which was disappointing because of the restaurant renovation.
