I am happy to stay here. This hostel is cozy and has all the essentials you need. The common areas are warm and inviting, and there are activities to make the guest know the Chicago better. I chose this place because it's close to the starting point of the Chicago Marathon. The hotel also provides fruit and electrolytes to runners. The weakness I found was cleanliness. The room I stayed in had a lot of dust under the bed but there were no problems in the using area. & Some staff may seem a little upset when I asked her repeatedly or may not understand what she is saying.

This was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had. Even as a solo female traveler I felt quite safe in the hostel premises. They had plenty of events, I joined a couple of walking tours in which i learned a lot and made new friends. The shared areas are super big and very convenient. The location is excellent. If I ever need to go back to Chicago I'll stay here for sure.

The kitchen's cleanliness was a bit lacking, mainly due to the varying standards of other guests, but everything else was acceptable. The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to get to the airport or tourist attractions by subway.

The room was very spacious and exceptionally clean. The facilities were good, and the service was excellent. The breakfast was generous and varied. Its location was incredibly convenient, being very close to both bus and subway stations, and also to many attractions. The area was very quiet.
