Best for
This hotel suits travelers connecting through Chicago Midway International Airport, thanks to its free airport shuttle and proximity of just 4.3 miles, as well as visitors wanting an affordable, comfortable base for downtown Chicago sightseeing about 15 miles away. It also works well for business travelers needing meeting space, and for guests who want easy access to a walkable strip of casual restaurants right outside the hotel.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the free hotel shuttle for Midway Airport transfers rather than arranging separate transportation, as reviewers note it runs frequently and reliably. Plan on driving or using rideshare for downtown Chicago attractions like the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium, since they sit roughly 15-19 km away. For meals, several restaurants -- including Whitney's, South Side Social, and Harold's Chicken -- are within a few minutes' walk, so a car isn't needed for dinner.
What guests say
Across guest reviews, recurring positive themes include friendly and responsive staff, clean rooms, and a convenient location for reaching both Midway Airport and downtown Chicago. Multiple reviewers specifically praised the free airport shuttle service and named a driver for being punctual and courteous. Breakfast and the on-site bar/grill food were frequently described as tasty and quick, and parking was noted as reasonably priced compared to other area hotels. One review mentioned that the surrounding area mainly offers basic, casual dining rather than upscale options, which is the only mildly critical note among otherwise consistently positive feedback.
