Nice hotel with the parking onsite and lots of restaurants around. Super simple and easy check-in. We had an issue with the toilet and maintenance was quick to fix it. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Will not visit this place ever againLoud, small, old, and not cleanOnly good part of this place is their photographer, able to turn things around in the photos
Older hotel that needs some updates for sure, small rooms but the rooms were very clean, beds comfortable, linens fresh, staff friendly, location was great, easy to walk to everything, McDonald’s across the street which was handy for coffee in the morning. TV worked when it wanted to, not a big deal but for some people TV in the room is huge. There is parking on site which we did not take advantage of but would be important for some. Know that you are one block in most directions from nicer accommodations but for the price to be in the River North area not a bad deal.
