We really enjoyed our stay at Max's. Plenty of room for our two families (9 people). Walk to the metro was pretty short and manageable. Several great restaurants within a very short walk. Prost! is an amazing German restaurant and Lou Malnati's is a must for Chicago style pizza. Both not even a 5 minute walk away. Max was very accommodating to our early arrival letting us drop of our bags so that we did not have to carry them around Chicago while the cleaning crew was there. Only downside would be the proximity to the Metro. The train is pretty loud and runs throughout the night. But, we knew that going in so we dealt with it. Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Chicago!
