Best for groups and families who want an apartment-style base with a full kitchen (microwave and oven/stove), in-unit washer, and outdoor space (balcony/patio). It also suits travelers who plan to drive thanks to free on-site parking, while still being within a few miles of major downtown sights like Water Tower Chicago and 360 Chicago.
Travel tips
If you’re relying on rail connections, note that major terminals like Ogilvie Transportation Center and Chicago Union Station are a few kilometers away; plan a short ride to reach them. Drivers can take advantage of the included free parking, which can be a major cost-saver downtown. Guests have mentioned check-in being challenging at times, so confirming arrival timing and instructions in advance may reduce stress.
What guests say
Guests frequently highlight the space as clean and well-suited to group stays, including family get-togethers, and some specifically enjoy the outdoor patio/balcony for relaxing after exploring downtown. Location is regularly described as convenient, and the inclusion of parking is a standout practical benefit. On the downside, at least one reviewer felt the listing description overstated the “penthouse” aspect and reported a stressful, difficult check-in. Minor usability issues have also been noted inside the unit, such as limited window coverings and confusing light switches.
