    Value for money

The location is handy, the breakfast is also quick. Fully-equipped room with an exceptionally comfortable bed, good value. Chicago metro station is a few steps away from the place, some 5 minutes on foot.

We appreciated luxury bathroom!!

It was a restful experience. Practical location, fairly clean and perfect place. Exceptional service within 20 km of the airport. Staff lively & was always available until we checked out. Had selected cocktails, gins and juices in the in-house bar.

Good value, you're getting nice service. Breakfast was exceptional, room was updated and practical. The location was friendly, near michigan avenue. Fantastic local beach, that was what we truly enjoyed. Good view, a comfortable balcony, soft bed, too. Fast staff & heated pool. The hassle-free check-in too.
