I like this spot. It's an affordable option in Chicago, accessible off the red line and near the lake shore. There's a nice coffee shop (the common cup) a few blocks away, and the Harvest Cafe is a nice spot for a quick bite to eat.
The rooms in the Greanleaf are basic, clean, and comfortable. The shared spaces are great. Nice to have a few simple breakfast items on hand for my late arrival.
All in all, a very pleasant stay and good value.
