We had a nice, spacious room in a great location of Wicker Park. There were tons of restaurants and shops right outside our door. We had a 3rd floor unit in this walk-up "hotel." My only slightly negative comment is that the mattress was a little soft/sunken in the middle.

Great location for access to Wicker Park neighborhood. Minor issues, shower door broken, dirty entry. Be prepared for zero amenities and no closet but everything you need is accessible nearby. Good room and reasonably quiet so if all you need is a place to sleep this is perfect.

No place to check in early and drop bags, 4 flights of angled stairs with varying rails, very comfortable bed, ceiling fan, wall electric fireplace, small kitchen on 3rd floor with ice machine. No TV which is great because I only really sleep when im downtown, great city view, expected sirens occasionally. Overall great location, reasonable price, but tough amount of stairs.

Loved staying here, nice clean rooms, perfect little kitchen. I suggest booking a room on the 3rd floor so you don't have to walk anymore of the stairs. Lol! Entrance and carpet up to rooms could be updated. Very central to everything, restaurants and bars right outside your door. I would stay here again and highly recommend
