The room looks very identical to the pictures! It's a great place for your money to stay if you are on a budget. My boyfriend and I had walked to the CTA with no issue and there are convenient places to eat that you are able to walk to (14 mins) such as McDonalds, Wingstop, Little Caesars, a Walgreens, Dunkin, and a grocery store! With the winter weather ahead, I would suggest packing an extra blanket or bringing a mini heater if you'd like. It can be a little chilly! There is heat for the place, but since multiple people are able to control the temp. some people may not like it as warm as I do :)
