I stayed here with coworkers for a conference at McCormick Place, and the location was super convenient. It's about three blocks from the West building and five from the South building. If you're super sensitive to the smell of smoke, this might not be the place for you, but my coworkers and I didn't mind it. The place was clean, and check-in and check-out were very easy. I highly recommend staying here if you are going to an event at McCormick Place.
