Very nicely maintained old hotel from the 1920's judging by the coved ceilings. Very clean. Good beds. Like a visit to the past. Steam heat. Air conditioners. Be aware, lobby is six steps below street level, and a portion of the hotel requires a fight of stairs up to the lowest elevator level. Il that is a problem for you, requst rooms in the portion served by lobby level elevators.

Ideal location for just about everything! We enjoyed a play downtown Chicago afterwards only took us 15 minutes to get to the hotel! The hotel is within walking distance to many restaurants and extensive shopping!

This was the second time I have stayed here. This will definitely be my go to hotel for all future trips to the Chicago area. Rooms are spacious and clean. Love having a mini fridge and microwave in the room. Parking is super easy. Neighborhood is quaint and the people are friendly. The only negative I can think of is the fact it is only one block from Harlem Ave and a somewhat sketchy area.

I very much enjoyed the beauty and French feel of the hotel and rooms. The only problem that I had was with the hard walking, stomp walking if the guests above me. Perhaps, the front desk clerks can ask the guests at check in to be mindful to walk softly when guests are beneath them. the Rev. Dr. Horace Griffin

Property was a tad dated, but did its job. Pillows were pretty uncomfortable. There was a staff shortage noted upon checkin that I feel impacted the cleanliness of the room, but it was still fine. I would stay here again if I needed to be outside the city, but might not return otherwise.
