Very enjoyable stay - Close to everything Chicago has to offer. Rooms are certainly compact but great for couples or singular guests. Will be staying again when I visit.
We really enjoyed the little room we got. The whole place is really cute and well decorated. It was great for our stopover on our long drive. Super close to great restaurants and Riverwalk!
We stayed at this hotel 2 years in a row for the suenos festival and we love it every time we stay here! The staff is very kind and the walking distance was so convenient for us.
