This is a great deal for a location that is relatively close to downtown Chicago. There are multiple sets of stairs that you have to use to get to your room, so keep that in mind if you're bringing suitcases. The building feels pretty secure, with two sets of locked doors (you use a code on a keypad to get in) and your own lockable room (physical key). There are multiple restrooms and kitchens on the floor that I stayed on, so I didn't find sharing to be an issue. There are already appliances, toiletries, and towels provided, so no need to bring your own if you're trying to travel light. My bedroom had bunkbeds and they were surprisingly pretty comfortable, with pillows and blankets provided. It seems to be an older building but I personally liked it and found it charming. I recommend staying here, especially if you're trying to save money and you're not overly concerned with amenities.
