I stayed one night to catch a flight the next day from O’hare after arriving by Amtrak from New Mexico, so the accommodation was perfect for the price, location, and ease of transporting myself from the train station to Free Hand. The bed was very comfortable, with a comfy cozy comforter that felt very clean. The front desk staff who checked me in was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, answering my questions about boarding the right “L” to O’hare with my folding touring bicycle. I’ve stayed in Japanese capsule hotels and small spaces in my years of travel in Japan. This lodging is an American boutique version of the Japanese capsule motel experience. Everything in the room was clean and felt solid. I enjoyed two nearby restaurants for dinner and breakfast, Asian fusion and Italian, and I rode my bicycle to visit the lake in the morning before boarding the Blue Line at Damon and Milwaukee. Great to have this budget option in the city.
