Access is fully self-directed via a mobile Virtual Front Desk, with no traditional lobby or front-desk check-in line.

Building-wide perks include a rooftop deck with seasonal skyline views (fob access), a fitness center, and an elevator. Guest support is available seven days a week by text, chat, email, or phone from 8am to 1am, and professional cleaning is completed between every stay, though mid-stay cleanings are not included by default. Paid parking can be arranged nearby, as there is no on-site parking.

Travel tips
Complete the required check-in form (including ID verification and background check) well before arrival, since your unit number and door code are only released after submission. There's no on-site parking, so plan for a nearby paid garage, and note the nearby Chicago subway station (185m) and multiple train stations (Ogilvie, Millennium, Union Station, LaSalle Street) within about a 15-25 minute walk for easy transit connections. Self check-in begins at 4pm, so time your arrival accordingly.
