No frills accommodation, but clean, quiet, and exceptionally convenient location. Excellent WiFi, decent continental breakfast, and an unbeatable price.
Very clean, super friendly staff, the bed, pillows, blankets were super comfy. Right in the loop so easy access to all public transit. Second floor had two pool tables, ping pong, and many board games plus free events daily like trivia and tours. Highly recommend and will be staying with them again
