SO much better than a hotel! Saved our company over half the price of staying in a hotel and so much more comfortable. We had a convention at the McCormick Center and this was the perfect location for us. Very close walk. We also had meetings at the big hotels near McCormick and they were in quick walking distance.
There are small grocers in the area so making use of the kitchen was so easy and convenient. Also many restaurants within walking distance to grab a bite as you go (Subway etc) and also places to go in and have a sit-down meal.
Our beds were extremely comfortable. Shampoo, soap, hair dryer, hair straightener, iron, steamer (!), dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, coffee, etc — it was all there! And lots of extra pillows available so finding a suitable one was a breeze.
We never noticed the sound of the nearby trains so that was not an issue for us.
This being our first time in Chicago, we did a lot of sightseeing. So worth it! Cannot stress this enough — be a tourist and go sightseeing! SO MUCH TO SEE!
The architectural boat tour and city tour are a MUST. And the museums are outstanding. Seriously. And that pizza!
I had a question for our host during our stay and his response time was immediate — quicker than my husband! ha!
Highly recommend!
