LIVN West Loop Chicago 2 BR City View
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
LIVN West Loop Chicago is a newly renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment-style accommodation at 555 W Jackson Blvd in Chicago's West Loop, one of downtown's most connected neighborhoods. Designed for business travelers, weekend visitors, and extended-stay guests alike, the unit blends modern interiors with the practicality of a full residence rather than a traditional hotel room.
Rooms & Interiors
The 2-bedroom layout includes exposed ceilings and thoughtfully designed modern interiors, with the second bedroom noted by guests as having a firmer mattress. The unit is smoke-free, climate controlled with air conditioning and heating, and outfitted with cable TV and free Wi-Fi throughout.
Amenities
A full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave supports home-style cooking, while an in-unit washer and dryer make longer stays or family trips more manageable. Additional conveniences include an ironing board, a building elevator, and access to a fitness center, all within a kid-friendly, smoke-free setting.
Location
The property sits just steps from Union Station and within walking distance of Willis Tower (Sears Tower), giving guests easy access to downtown offices, dining, and iconic Chicago attractions. Guests have also mentioned walkable access to local restaurants and nearby CTA bus routes (lines 151 to 156), making car-free exploration of the city straightforward.
Best for
This property suits business travelers who need proximity to downtown offices and quick access to Union Station, as well as families or small groups who benefit from the two bedrooms, full kitchen, and in-unit laundry. Extended-stay visitors will appreciate the residential comforts like a washer/dryer and full kitchen that make longer trips more livable than a standard hotel room.
Travel tips
Union Station is just steps away, making it a convenient base for Amtrak or Metra travel, and CTA bus routes 151 through 156 stop nearby for getting around the city without a car. Willis Tower is within walking distance, so plan to explore the West Loop's dining scene on foot. Note that check-in and check-out are handled through an automated, self-service process rather than in-person staff, so guests who prefer human interaction should plan accordingly.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the unit and describe communication or overall experience as strong. The two-bedroom layout, full kitchen, and in-unit washer/dryer are frequently highlighted as practical for family stays, and the location near Union Station with easy access to nearby restaurants and CTA buses is appreciated. Some minor drawbacks recur, including thinner towels, a firmer mattress in the second bedroom, and an occasional rattling bathroom vent. A few guests also noted they preferred human check-in interaction over the fully automated check-in and check-out process.
