Best for

Travelers who prioritize a simple, functional setup over a full-service property are the most likely match.
Travel tips
If you’re flying in or out of Midway, plan on a short drive to the hotel (about 3 miles), which can be convenient for early departures. Many headline attractions—Millennium Park, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Willis Tower—are roughly 17–18 km away, so allow extra time for city traffic. With kitchens in the studios and coin-operated laundry on site, the property works well for packing lighter on long stays and doing meals in.
What guests say
Guests often highlight the practicality of the studio kitchens, specifically mentioning appliances like a cooktop, microwave, and a full-size refrigerator. Cleanliness is a recurring positive point, with multiple stays described as comfortable and functional for longer visits. Staff feedback is mixed: some travelers describe friendly, helpful service and smooth check-in (including accommodation of requests like early check-in), while others report rude or unhelpful front desk interactions. Overall impressions tend to center on value-through-utility—kitchen setup and basics—tempered by inconsistent customer service.
