South Loop Rooftop With In and Out Parking 3
Guest rating: 4.4 / 5
Overview
This 1,000 sq. ft. two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit is a modern, privately-accessed apartment-style stay in downtown Chicago's South Loop area. It's positioned within a residential building rather than a traditional hotel, offering a chic, full-apartment alternative for corporate travelers and families. The unit is smoke-free and includes air conditioning and heating throughout.
Rooms & Layout
The unit sleeps guests across two queen bedrooms, plus an inflatable airbed with built-in pump in the living room and a portable crib available for young children. Each bedroom includes an office desk and chair, along with a wardrobe for longer stays, while the living room offers a sofa, accent chair, flat-screen TV, and a coffee table with board games. Two full bathrooms are stocked with towels and basic toiletries.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is fully equipped with a Keurig, microwave, stove, oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, toaster, dining table and chairs, and a full set of cookware and dinnerware, making extended stays and in-unit meals easy. A grill set is also provided for use on the building's rooftop patio. For dining out, guests are within a short walk of several restaurants including Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, Sushi-San, Gibsons Italia, La Josie, The Gage, and Cindy's Rooftop.
Amenities & Recreation
Building amenities include a rooftop terrace with sunbeds, a rooftop pool with loungers, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and panoramic city views, all included with guest access. In-unit conveniences include a washer, free Wi-Fi, cable TV with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Prime included, and an elevator serving the building. Free in/out parking is available roughly a 5-minute walk from the unit, accommodating vehicles up to 6'8" in height.
Location
The property sits in the heart of downtown Chicago, within walking distance of major attractions such as the Willis Tower Skydeck (10-minute walk), the Chicago Riverwalk, Millennium Park, and the Art Institute of Chicago, with Navy Pier and Museum Campus a short drive away. Public transportation via CTA trains and buses is easily accessible throughout the surrounding area.
Best for
This unit suits corporate travelers who need in-unit desks, free Wi-Fi, and a kitchen for extended stays, as well as families who can use the two queen bedrooms, portable crib, and airbed for extra sleeping space. Its downtown South Loop location within walking distance of major Chicago attractions and dining also appeals to sightseers who want a residential-style base near the action.
Travel tips
Arrange free in/out parking in advance with the host, since the garage is a 5-minute walk away and spaces are capacity-limited for vehicles up to 6'8" tall. Downtown attractions like the Willis Tower Skydeck, Riverwalk, and Millennium Park are all within a 10-15 minute walk, so comfortable shoes are worthwhile. CTA trains and buses run throughout the area, making car-free exploration of the rest of Chicago straightforward.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the unit, its family-friendly setup, the prime downtown location near numerous restaurants, and the host's fast, helpful communication. Several reviewers also highlighted the impressive city views, including sightlines to the Willis Tower, and appreciated the high ceilings that make the space feel open. However, recurring complaints center on uncomfortable, overly warm mattresses, thin walls that let noise travel between units, inconsistent air conditioning performance between bedrooms, and at least one mention of the rooftop pool and outdoor area being closed during their stay.
