A Little Small, But Fun
Quad room amenities were a bit small for me (especially the shower), and there was an overbooking issue on one of the nights I was there, but the service was fantastic and was a great price for downtown Chicago. If you don't mind meeting and conversing with new people, stay in a quad room!

4/10 Fair

The room was very dirty, I spent the first hour disinfecting and cleaning the room. The heater did not work in the room, and I was given a space heater. It was 12 degrees outside and it didn't help much. While they did attempt to fix the heater, it continued to break and they refused to change my room.

Save on the room to spend on the town
We had a Premium Queen. It’s a small room that was quirky, quaint. Bathroom was nice w soap and shampoo supplied. Comfortable beds. The actual hotel space is great. The Broken Shaker bar is fantastic. Darkly lit with cozy areas to sit. Lots a nooks but lots of space. Great drinks. Right off Michigan Ave. We paid $202 grand total for two nights ($101/night).

Cool vibe but dirty room
Woulda been fine with this as a hostel in my early twenties, but I feel differently now and when traveling for work. Unfortunately my room was dusty and grimy when I arrived. I asked for a clean between the nights of my stay, and came back to a room with the same amount of dust and grime. The refillable shampoo bottle in the shower was entirely empty. Downstairs/bar vibe is fun, but I don't recommend staying there if you care about cleanliness.
