Nicely located if you want to get anywhere in Chicago. The lounge area and amenities in general are great. As they advertise, like a hotel.
Compared to hostels, I didn't get any of the social element. So if you want that, stay in a hostel.
The beds were private. The lock/locker situation was fine, although not as nice as some many other hostels.
I'm glad they had a little fitness area with a bench and dumbbells.
If you like hostels, I would just stay in a normal hostel over this, because this was about twice the price just to have a nicer lobby/lounge.
Nonetheless, I have no real complaints.
