Functional

This is not so much a hotel as a converted private club. The staff was very kind and friendly. The room was clean but dated. There is no signage outside, which was disconcerting when I arrived in the Southloop on a Sunday night in a deserted area. My room was 50°, literally, when I went in, which was unpleasant on a cold Chicago evening and the television did not work. Breakfast was there but basically packaged baked goods and some oranges and apples.It was late when I arrived and so I did not complain. It was definitely functional for a one night business stay, but would definitely not stay there again.
