This place is a serious steal. You feel like you've been transported back in time. With four levels of beautiful guest rooms, the mansion is stunning. I had the room at the very top level. I can't remember the last time I have slept so well. The room was very clean, with a big comfortable bed. The bathroom was also really clean and nice, and there are several common areas to hang out in and watch tv or get some work done. Snacks are available for purchase, and Ryan provides complimentary coffee and tea. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the neighborhood isn't necessarily the best. However, it's 5 minutes from the train which takes you anywhere in the city. I walked to and from the train and didn't have any problems. I have lived in Chicago on and off for 12 years, and this is one of the coolest places I've ever seen in the city, with serious value. Stay here.
