Fodor's Review:
. The neighborhood is a little dicey, being the stomping grounds for the city's goth and punk kids, but it's safe and pretty appealing if you want to escape the sometimes stiff downtown scene. European travelers love the hotel for its cozy, residential feel (it's a mostly suites property and two-thirds of rooms have separate sitting areas and pull-out couches). Its proximity to the El train is both a blessing and a curse; you'll have easy access to downtown and the North Side, but the rumbling noise into the wee hours might not make for the most restful night. Amenities include complimentary Continental breakfast, afternoon cookies, free wireless Internet access, luxury robes, and access to a health club nearby.

Recommended for all except light sleepers
Posted by Andrew from Boston, MA on 2/19/06
The location is fantastic, particularly if you need to be north of downtown Chicago, or near Wrigley. Ann Sather's Swedish restaurant is right next door, so there's good places to eat even though the hotel has no restaurant. The staff was bewildered: from my dealings I found them to be polite but a little bit clueless. The elevated train is a pro and a con: transportation is right at the hotel's doorstep, but it also means you hear all the noise from the elevated train. I cannot recommend the hotel to light sleepers.
