I stayed here for the Chicago marathon with other runners The facilities are great and there is lots of space. Kitchen is ideal if you want to cook yourself. Very clean.
The location is ok. It's a few stops to downtown but the Chicago public transport is useless which makes the place seem far away but it isn't. The street is noisy and I struggled with it in room 4. I needed to sleep before the marathon but struggled. The other rooms don't have this problem so ask not to be in room 4 if you don't like noise.
Phil's pizza is great. About a 15 minute walk but worth it.
