Room was clean and comfortable. Front desk staff was friendly and courteous. However, there were no USB plug in ports anywhere in the room. I’ve never stayed in a hotel that didn’t have USB plug ins for electronics!

Specifically requested a quiet room. I called the hotel directly and the desk clerk left me hanging on the line 3 times and had to call back twice. In the end, I was assured they could accommodate.then on arrival, placed us in a room on the side of the building where every 20 minutes a very loud commuter train transits; waking us. When I picked up the room key, the assigned room had not been cleaned. At reservation the app doesn’t tell you that parking is $18 a day. Don’t waste your money.

Pros - Friendly staff especially @ restaurant & front desk - Pretty decent $10 breakfast - Rooms are a good size with decent desk and chair to relax, though slightly run down - Very close to subway station making it convenient to explore the city - Reasonably close to the Lake Michigan shoreline & Northwesten University - Close to some good restaurants and stores - Situated in a nice neighborhood Cons - Can be noisy as its close to the commuter rail & subway lines - Hallways & rooms have a musty smell. Needed: ditch the carpets! - Pillows are too soft & beds lack support
