A few guests have also said the service at Chicago Getaway is similar to what one would expect at a higher end hotel.

Visitors love all the amenities this hostel has to offer, including perks such as free luggage storage, lockers, reading room, computer corner, meeting room, outdoor patio, large kitchen, nice lobby area and free Wi-Fi.

Some visitors have mentioned the beds could be better as they could feel the springs through the mattresses while trying to sleep; beds are also a little shaky.

A few people have complained about a room located on the basement floor. This room has poor air circulation and no windows and it has been suggested to avoid booking in this room if you can.

There have been limited negative comments about upkeep in rooms and other areas, mostly geared toward the bathrooms and showers.
