This is a no-frills place in a great neighborhood. The bed was more comfortable than I was expecting. The hosts offered coffee and tea. The room was clean. Otherwise, there isn’t much the room has to offer, which I am totally fine with. I just need a place to rest and keep my bags. I’d rather spend money on great food, museums, etc. than some five star hotel that I don’t plan on spending time in.
Chinatown has a great scene with tons of restaurants, some open pretty late, and I always felt safe. The CTA station is an easy walk away, and it’s a quick ride to the Magnificent Mile, easy to transfer to Wicker Park, O’Hare, and just about anything else you’ll need. I highly recommend this place if you don’t need to be pampered and just need a clean, cozy, affordable place to stay.
