Great hotel. Great price.
Awesome and modern hotel in a fantastic area. Great staff. Clean facility. The only downfall is that you have to take a short walk to the parking lot. In the summer, no problem. Wintertime...

Nice stay for short visit.
The room floors could have been swept or vacuumed. The toilet paper holder was broken off of the wall. No iron or iron board in the room you have to ask the front desk for them.

Great location and ammenities
Almost everything was great. From room space, clealiness, staff service, to location of the hotel near public metro rail. Only one thing I would like to mention is to offer more more food options in the cocktail area. We wanted to stay in and not eat out but only one kind of pizza was available.

Cubs win!
We came with family and friends to a baseball game. This was close enough to the ballpark and was in a quiet area. Had to park near the facility for a short walk. Friendly staff and clean location. The room was nice, bed was very comfortable for both of us, shower was nice, good water pressure. Had coffee in the morning did not get breakfast but was available and cost extra. Didn’t visit the bar, pool or exercise area but was available. Would recommend this place.

Decent hotel
Nice hotel but definitely could have been cleaner, the sofa had some iffy stains on it that were white, so yea wasn't sitting on that. The rooms are not super family friendly for those with kids, but is great for couples or single person stay.

Hotel was in a safe area, local restaurant and coffee shop were a walkable distance. Fun hotel vibe with pool table, outside area, and bar. However, shower water pressure was barely a trickle out of the shower head, and no saop on the dispensers was very disappointing. Beds were soft and staff was friendly. So overall good stay.

Everything about our stay was AMAZING — service was truly 10/10 and made our anniversary feel special. The only downside was the shower, which was unfortunately a bit unpleasant, especially in the corners with some old dirt and hair. Since it was a special trip, I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I did want to mention it. Other than that, the experience was wonderful and the staff was incredible!

Enjoyed my stay very much. Service was wonderful. Room was nice. Good amount of options for breakfast. Didn’t get to try the bar, exercise room or pool. Good location. Parking wasn’t great. EV charging stations were always in use and likely not by hotel guests.

This property is very clean and inviting. My room was clean—worried about highway/smoker smell but didn’t seem to experience that inside which was great. Love the atmosphere and amenities.

Good not great.
Parking was a challenge... four minute walk away and twenty five extra dollars and not in the best neighborhood. Walls were chipping paint but overall the room was clean.
