4/10 Fair

the room was not great.....no closet, no desk, it was loud and the heater was super loud and musty. The hotel is cute from the outside and the lobby and staff were nice, but this room should not be a room.

Worn out
Mold on the walls in bathroom. Plug sockets on lamp are worn out. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Lamp shade was ripped. Just sort funny how the crown molding just stops short of the adjoining wall. Overall the room and building are worn out

Greeted by an evening male receptionist with a very curious, disdainful manner, which set things off poorly. The lobby is charming and well decorated, conforming to era. Excellent coffee available in the morning. Hotel location is good, 10min walk to CTA trains (clean and orderly), and many restaurants and shops around. Of special note is the very helpful and pleasant day receptionist lady, made all the difference to our stay.

Rooms were a little dated and the mattress a bit too soft for me and my friend, other than that it was a good place to stay. Staff were always friendly when asking questions.

Quaint Convenience
Quaint Convenience. Everything was great. 1 exception I found annoying. They LOADED the mini fridge drinks. Liquor, Beer, Soda, water. Why is that annoying? Because they don't have ANY signs showing how much everything is AND there was no room for MY water, and MY beer. They're trying to trick you into consuming it. AND on the counter! 2 bottles of cheap wine and 2 bottles of uppity water like Evian. Sneaky! Whatever, smh

Great neighborhood location.
Great location and easy ($25/night) garage parking nearby. Comfortable bed, room and bathroom were nice and clean. Although room temp was comfortable, some difficulty sleeping as A/C unit was loud intermittently throughout the night.
