10/10 Excellent
"We got in really late. Let them know, told us it would be no problem. It wasn't. We got there at 3:00 AM and the security guard made sure we were supposed to be there. Check in took no time at all. Room was great for what we needed. Hotel looked great the whole time we were there. Location was great and super easy to get to the loop, red, and blue lines. Staff was great, other than a couple early knocks on the door for housekeeping. Would definitely stay again."
