"Clean room, uncomfortable bathtub, cheap amenities- heater was broken in room. Light in bathroom dim. Maintenance staff was nice and things are very clean, but won’t be staying here again."

"pobre desayuno, basico, para el precio esta bien"

"DO NOT STAY! Go to a hotel instead. First off they require a security deposit, which yes is stated in the review, but they fail to mention you need to use a cash transfer app to do this. The listing states that they do take credit/debit cards (Not for the security deposit I guess). I had to start a Venmo account to make this happen. Transferred $300 for the deposit through Venmo. More on this after review of the property. The room was ok, the slats on the bed supporting the mattress were half falling off so we had to fix that ourselves. The shared bathroom was ok but no stopper for the bath tub. Property was ok. Back to my deposit issue. As stated in the agreement, security deposit would be returned 5 to 7 business days after checkout. After 9 DAYS I reached out to the property to inquire about my deposit. They asked for my Venmo account so they could refund my deposit. They responded with "it will be refunded soon, latest tomorrow morning. Tomorrow comes, no refund. Shocker! Multiple text messages were sent about my refund and wouldn't you know it, not a single response. Now I have to contact Hotels.com. Multiple times! They kept telling me I need to contact the property. The property has officially ghosted me at this point. Thankfully Hotels.com got though to them and I got my deposit back 13 days after checkout. If you stay here be ready to work for your deposit back. Not sure about all these 10 out of 10 reviews? Did they get their deposit back automatically? I did not."

"My stay was wonderful. The room was clean, comfortable, & cozy. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Perfect staycation. Can’t wait to do it again!"

"This is the perfect location to explore Chinatown. Everything is within a few blocks walk. The hotel was perfectly clean, and the staff was great. We had a problem getting our air conditioning to come on, and they were up to our room in 10 minutes to fix the issue. Absolutely would stay here again. "

"Parking should be at public parking. Fee is ok"

"Ok breakfast, nice bar."

"Accessibility, clean rooms budget friendly and helpful staff"

"Great location to the city. Close parking after 8 got a bit hard, but wasn't impossible. the farthest i walked was a block away one night, still easy. Not a shared space! You're all alone bb. really easy to get acquainted with! If you want to watch stuff on the tv, i think you'd have to sign in with your own stuff, i snuck an account on one of the services that was already logged in, but felt guilty because- hey! idk this person (i deleted it after like a good egg, anyways). The area is pretty quiet, don't see a ton of people and it's pretty insulated from the main street so I felt I could relax in an unfamiliar city. The only other things to think about are relatively small. The showers Hot and Cold dials are flipped! The neighbors upstairs are uh. quite loud. I definitely understood why some neighbors insist a broom for any apartment living. It's not talking or anything it's just footsteps. bum bum bum bum. . . bum bum bum. FLUUUUSH. the occasional BANG. Who's the clumsy guy dropping everything upstairs? They'd be up walking around til like 1am. I was planning for early mornings most the time, so next time i'd plan for earplugs. I'd say the ceiling should drop a biiiit, but I liked the rate this place was at so I won't complain too much. Note to owners: Add lamps, please. the overhead lighting is blinding with each switch, I'd kill for some warmer light! All in all, really good! Made my first time in Chicago an unforgettable experience! "
