I really enjoyed my stay here for a quick weekend getaway, pun intended. Close to a lot of eateries and bars, convenient location and great price. Will definitely stay here again when I revisit Chicago.

The hotel canceled my reservation. They left 10 people without a place to sleep. They didn't mention any issue when we dropped our bags off in the morning. The front desk staff were incredibly unhelpful. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The room is on the third floor. I only gave a list. The elevator is very busy and slow. Cooking is not allowed. Many people use the microwave to cook instant noodles. It is far from the station. The water in the shower is like tears.

As a youth hostel, it's okay, but the bed has no curtains, and the privacy is poor. The lower bunk space is very short, so you can't sit up, so you can only lie down. You need to lock the lockers yourself. The front desk service is uneven. The brother in the house had his money deducted twice, and the tax that needs to be paid is calculated on a daily basis, not the number shown by Ctrip. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk to the subway. The advantage is that it is located in a wealthy area and is relatively safe. The walls are very thin and you can hear the neighbors talking clearly. Breakfast is average, but still edible. As a youth hostel, you can’t ask for a bicycle🚲

This hostel was easy to use. Parking was great to deal with in Chicago. The staff was knowledgeable about the local community. The price was very affordable. The room was clean. There are a lot of restaurants, just a few blocks away. Walkable, and it feels like a safe urban environment. The fun of the urban Chicago, but still safe. And assuming you know it's a hostel, meaning there's a difference whether you get a room with a bathroom of your own or not and there's not a TV in the room, it's great.

This hostel had a lovely deluxe suite that supported my whole large family. It was so nice to be able to stay all together rather than have to split up.

Free parking was so easy, the shared kitchen made buying groceries and cooking very ideal. Also the walk to the bus stop was very close and saved us so much money on ubers. We had a private room and used the shared bathroom for showering, which were very clean. Overall very cool vibes for solo travelers or those in groups. All different ages, men and women, and lots of languages. 10/10 experience.

It’s cheap and the breakfast was included. I booked 2 nights before the trip and tried to cancel one of the night because of the room conditions. But it was rejected. I understood about it. few days after the trip, I got bed bug bites all skins. My home never had bed bugs before. So I asked refunds not fully at least and I sent the doctor paper and pictures of the bites. but hostel said my health care provider was not sure what caused your skin irritation.They checked with the building engineer just examined the mattresses in the room I stayed in, and found zero evidence of any insect activity. I got it but it was not good experiences.
