Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Central location near the Magnificent Mile, two minutes from the CTA transit Red line Grand Station. First time trying the hostel-like experience and I made some new friends, which was great. Kudos to the housekeeping staff for keeping everything sparkling clean, and the folks at the Broken Shaker for keeping the café and bar very lively. If you don't mind meeting and staying with some new friends the next time you're in Chicago, this place should be on the top of your list.
