Spacious 3BR Smoke Ok | McCormick & UIC Campus
Guest rating: 4.0 / 5
Overview
The State Suite is a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom loft-style apartment located on State Street in Chicago's South Loop, near McCormick Place and the UIC campus area. The unit features soaring 10-12 ft ceilings and large windows, giving it an open, light-filled loft character rather than a traditional hotel room feel. It is a smoke-friendly property, a notable rarity among downtown Chicago accommodations.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The suite comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests across three queen bedrooms plus a sofa bed, with an additional air mattress available in the living area upon request. Each bedroom includes soft linens, blackout curtains, spacious closets, and a Smart TV for private relaxation, while the two bathrooms are stocked with fresh towels and toiletries.
Kitchen & In-Unit Amenities
A fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, an oven/stove, microwave, cookware, utensils, and dinnerware makes home-cooked meals easy, and complimentary coffee and tea are provided. The unit also includes air conditioning, heating, an in-unit washer, an ironing board, cable TV, and 4K Roku Smart TVs throughout, supported by free Wi-Fi and free parking.
Location & Surroundings
Set in the dynamic South Loop neighborhood, the suite is a short walk to McCormick Place Convention Center, a 4-6 minute walk to Red & Green Line CTA stations, and close to Museum Campus (Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium), Soldier Field, Grant Park, Millennium Park, and the Loop. With a Walk Score of 92, restaurants, cafés, and nightlife are all within easy walking distance.
Building & Practical Details
The building offers 24/7 monitored security, and optional secured parking is available across the street for $30/day. Guests must complete a verification process before receiving check-in instructions, and standard check-in is 4 PM with check-out at 11 AM.
Best for
This property suits groups, families, and business travelers who need multiple bedrooms and a full kitchen, such as those attending events at McCormick Place or games at Soldier Field. It's also a strong fit for guests who specifically want a smoke-friendly stay, and for longer stays thanks to the in-unit washer and 250 Mbps Wi-Fi.
Travel tips
The Red & Green Line CTA stations are just a 5-6 minute walk away, making it easy to reach most of the city without a car, and McCormick Place is only a 10-12 minute walk. If you need a car, budget for optional secured parking at $30/day across the street rather than assuming free street parking downtown. Note that hot water may take 1-2 hours to reheat after heavy use, so plan showers accordingly during busy stays.
