Stayed at Michael's for 4 nights. It was very quiet, just saw two other guests. Overall the place is as described, location and room met expectations. Cleanliness was the main issue, my private room and the shared spaces felt like they hadn't been cleaned apart from some fresh sheets. Felt grimey. Just didn't meet my expectations when you are paying a $40 cleaning fee.
Overall a great value if you are staying in the Chicago area.
