Richard • Trip with Friends

The staff were amazing! Kind, helpful and just joyful. The rooms are not fancy but clean and more spacious than we thought they would be. Nice linens, firm mattresses. The location is perfect. So many restaurants within walking distance, across the street from the lake with a nice walking trail. Felt very safe, even at night. One problem we encountered: only one outlet in our room would charge our phones. Great value for the money. Would stay there again.

Very clean rooms and the location was right across the street from Lake, Michigan, and within walking distance of several businesses

Room is clean; floor could be cleaner. Location is near Metra electric station that makes it very convenient to go into the city. We were able to check in early- thank you

It's a low budget model-like joint: simple and clean. Seems like converted apartments. But it is in a great location: lakefront, Hyde Park, close to Bronzeville, parks, etc. Free parking too! Staff was very helpful too.

Very safe and convenient on bus route 6 that takes you to the south and to Millennium Park. We enjoyed the location, cleanliness and safety aspects. The staff was great and we would have probably not had time for the pool anyway, had it been open. I will try to book it again in the future.

Room was clean, good location, close to plenty of good restaurants. Not too far from downtown, so tourist attractions aren’t a hassle to get to

The room was clean. The facility wasn't offer much. The wifi was very weak, and the feeling was we are staying at the cheap motel, not hotel.

The room was very clean and the air conditioning was excellent. They are VERY strict with the no-smoking policy so be aware if you smoke. I would stay here again.

Jessica • Family Trip

The hotel was clean, baseboards were missing so it didn’t feel entirely finished but that was just cosmetic. The bathrooms were clean, the room smelled nice and was clean, beds were comfy and the tv had casting abilities (which kept the kids happy!). Staff helped us navigate transit, the bus was only about an 8 minute walk through a decent neighborhood.

Raymond • Trip with Friends

The renovated room was nice… better than expected based on prior reviews. This is a nice quiet place to stay in the Hyde Park neighborhood, close to Lake Michigan and also close to bus, Metra and the “L” stations to reach downtown as well as the south side & south suburbs.

I had a great stay at this hotel and would gladly stay here again. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. The room was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately put me at ease. Everything looked fresh, organized, and cared for. The hotel's location was also excellent as it was near a train station that was a short ride to the downtown area. Between the outstanding cleanliness, convenient location, and genuinely friendly staff, this hotel provided a wonderful experience. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

It's more than I expected for what I paid. They haven't renovated the pool yet but the rooms are updated and nice. The staff was very friendly and incredibly helpful. You can cast to the TV's from your phone which was great. I could just use all my regular streaming apps. Close enough to downtown and right next to a park.
