This place is great for a family. We are a family of five with three kids 18, 16, and 8. Having two bathrooms is key for us, and we even used the washer and dryer behind the elevators - there’a an app for payment and activation, so it’s simple to know when the clothes are ready. The place is very central to a lot of activities. We took an Uber to the Shedd Aquarium and Field museum but walked back. You’re 5 minutes from the Bean. In and out is fast - down elevators and out the door to explore. Overall a great place as a hub for exploring.
