I thought the hotel was great. The lobby areas were gorgeous and well upkept. The rooms were a little dated and beat up, but they were still very comfortable. It was a short walk to the train, several restaurants, and other attractions. Parking in Chicago is a mess and pretty expensive (compared to where I am from). This was no exception, as parking was $54 a night, but the process was pretty simple and pretty close to the hotel.

The bathroom was kinda gross. Rust on the lights and the shower was a little dirty. The room itself was surprisingly clean. Only one person working the front desk when I checked in and a customer in front of me had an issue with something leaking in his room. So it took a minute to check-in.
