Enjoyed my stay. Room was nice, as was the lady who checked me in. Only complaint is the $65 parking fee. Feel if you are a frequent guest this fee is a little absurd. Just my opinion.

Pretty decent spot to stay for a decent price. Not many food options with close walking distance. Room is pretty standard but the shower could be much better.

Alina at the front desk was amazing! She was so friendly & accommodating during check-in & also during my 4 night hotel stay. She memorized my name/room # & anytime I would get something from the mini mart she would say I got you Sarah & would then charge it to my room without me having to stand in line. She also recommended this yummy pasta place nearby for dinner & gave me a coupon for it. They had really great minestrone soup. These are just 2 examples of her awesome customer service. She’s an employee you want to keep around.
I travel 1-2 to Chicago per year & usually stay near the Magnificent Mile but there was another nurse conference in town so I decided to try something different. My budget was $200 or under per night. The Hotel was clean & had an Indian food restaurant right next to it which was good too. I also really liked the location being near the Clinton train station. I ended up taking Ubers around instead because of the snow but during other times of year being that close to the train would be fabulous.

Breakfast buffet with no pricing signage, turns out they want $30 plus tip if you get anything there on your way out.
Don't fall for their breakfast that looks free
