the room was not great.....no closet, no desk, it was loud and the heater was super loud and musty. The hotel is cute from the outside and the lobby and staff were nice, but this room should not be a room.

Cute small older hotel. Decent location with plenty of places around and parking garage catty-corner from hotel (separate from hotel so you have to pay for parking). Stayed in room 109. It sounded like someone was hitting the radiator all night. Temperature control for the room didn't work.I did not get much sleep.

Worn out
Mold on the walls in bathroom. Plug sockets on lamp are worn out. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Lamp shade was ripped. Just sort funny how the crown molding just stops short of the adjoining wall. Overall the room and building are worn out

FILIPE

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Greeted by an evening male receptionist with a very curious, disdainful manner, which set things off poorly. The lobby is charming and well decorated, conforming to era. Excellent coffee available in the morning. Hotel location is good, 10min walk to CTA trains (clean and orderly), and many restaurants and shops around. Of special note is the very helpful and pleasant day receptionist lady, made all the difference to our stay.
