"The hotel is old with old amenities and is your basic 2 star hotel. It kind of reminds me of the places we would stay on a road trip when I was a kid in the 1970s and having a color TV in your room was a selling point.
Even though the decor isn't vintage 1920s/30's, the function of the room still is. If you are okay with that then this hotel will suit you just fine. It is clean and comfortable, the staff are polite and helpful, and if you are just using it to sleep and as a home base for your Chicago adventures it works perfectly fine. The location and price is really the selling point."
