Positive Reviews
positive:
Comfortable suites.
Guests rate the privacy and overall comfort of the suites, which they say offer a calm, homely atmosphere. Whether you're on a family vacation or a business trip, you'll find everything you need right there, from full kitchen facilities to in-room entertainment, and plenty of space to relax in.
positive:
Lending library and laundry.
The practical facilities, including the lending library, where you can get things like a blender for whizzing up those morning smoothies, as well as the free laundry, get major plus points from guests. It makes it feel like home away from home, so it's especially good for extended stays.
positive:
Convenient location.
The location is convenient and the hotel easy to get to, according to guests, who like the proximity to major routes, as well as the local restaurants and shops within the neighborhood. You'll also find that it's within easy reach of both downtown Chicago and O'Hare airport.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited service.
Some guests aren't happy with the limited housekeeping services offered here - rooms are given a full clean on a weekly basis, but in-between, if you need clean towels for example, you'll have to take the dirty ones down to the front desk and exchange them.
negative:
No breakfast.
The lack of breakfast is an issue for some guests - if you're staying for a while and you can buy in groceries, it's not too much of a problem, but if you're just staying overnight, you might find it a bit of a pain not to have breakfast provided.
negative:
Small gym.
The fitness facilities at the hotel are quite limited and are located in the same space as the laundry and shop, according to guests, so if you're hoping for a focused workout, you may be disappointed. It's probably better suited to light exercise while you're waiting for the washing to be done.
