This is a cute hostel. Don't arrive expecting it to be the Ritz-Carlton, because it is not. It is a hostel and a very nice one. They have a great kitchen and a nice lounge. The only complaint I have is having to pay for on-street parking until midnight and then having to wake up at 8:00 AM to feed the meter. I think that's just how things are in Chicago, though. I had a great experience overall!
