Claridge House is in a great and safe location. Beautiful browstones line the same street and the subway red line (which cuts through the heart of Chicago and is open 24/7) is around the corner. Nice restaurants and shops are a short walk away. The hotel's interior is cute and and the staff is friendly. My only complaint is that my room could have been cleaner. I found large hairs on the windowsill and in the sink that definitely weren't mine. Other than that, I'd stay here again for the price.
