The hotel’s location offers easy access to downtown Chicago, about 30-40 minutes away, and is in a safe neighborhood. It is not very walkable, but there is free parking on-site.

Good hotel. Rooms nice and clean, great closet! But I booked queen bed and got double queen, I don't understand why it wasn't waiting for me. Breakfast ok, but they don't serve hot tea, you get some juice if you ask for it... small bufet and plenty of peole there.

The bed was extremely comfortable, and the treadmill in the exercise room was very nice.
