8/10 Very good

I love great group of people who worked this hotel plus good clean bathroom which has plenty of hot water immediately. There were however a few not so good experiences -- room was too dark to see (opened the curtain/drape was not an option as we lost our privacy 100%), AC had temperamental behavior, bed-mattress was too soft to cramp my both calf during midnight, there was neither refrigerator nor microwave -- not even kettle to boil water, even a double room had only one chair, two elevator to cover the entire 17 stories building took time to call, and there was no hotel name on the entrance door/wall for the first timer. Overall, as the hotel was aiming toward to have a rustic feature, it did not work for me as the facility does old anyway.

4/10 Fair

It was meh.
Staff was super friendly! Easy check in and check out. Room was meh. Pictures looked better than the real deal. Upon entering, the room walls were dirty and had pencil markings all over. Ac didn’t work ( Chicago had weird warm weather for the season ). Room with a view was nothing special. City scape was nice, the parking garage next to the window was not. Car alarms at 2am were not pleasant. Bed was comfy. Sheets were a bit dirty. Bathroom was tiny and the shower head was gummed up with grime. I wanted to save money, but I should have spent the extra to stay elsewhere.

Nao indico, não vale o preço
Local parece sujo. Quando cheguei não tinha sabonete para as mãos e encontrei sujeira e poeira pelo quarto e na cama. Dividi o quarto com uma mulher que "morava" lá, não me senti confortável ou há vontade em nenhum momento. Local não me passou segurança nenhum, nem dentro, nem na vizinhança

Great location but could be cleaner
No house keeping. Towels aren’t changed which didn’t expect. It’s a great hotel and venue location but they just need to deep clean it. Nice hot shower and comfortable bed:)

Pick this hotel!
Cute little hotel in a really great spot in the city. The rooms were small but super cozy. The bathrooms were clean and nice, no ugly grout, no stains anywhere. And the water was HOT. Not lukewarm. Not hit or miss hot. Nice and hot. About a 5-10 minute walk to Michigan Ave. almost right next door is the famous Pizzaria Uno.
