Good location, close to restaurants and a little bit of walking distance to University of Chicago.
Breakfast was good and had quite a few good options.
The staff was amazing! We only stayed for one night, but the location was perfect. I highly recommend it if you’re planning a trip to Chicago and want to avoid staying downtown. The hotel was convenient, comfortable, and made for a great stay.
