Michele, Chicago

The property is in a great location, but feels pretty run-down and could use a big update. The lobby, hallways and pool area seem kind of dingy. Rooms were clean though (balconies could use a thorough cleaning, however). It was reasonably priced though so I would say you get what you pay for. Pros were the location and parking being included and cons listed above.

This property is dated, but has potential. Bed was comfortable. Views cannot be beaten! We did find a few stains in the bathroom that housekeeping missed, but no biggie. You will hear the train come by every 25 minutes or so at night (till about 2am), so bring earplugs.
