While the other furniture was dated, it was all functional. A restaurant is steps away and the property is located just off of Lake Shore Drive--about 6 minutes from Soldier Field

      Visiting son”

      The location and price are excellent but if you don't mind having paper thin walls where you hear everything and I do mean everything then you won't mind staying here. I felt safe walking at night back to the hotel but did not get 2 good nights of sleep due to other guests. My son would prefer I now go to another hotel.

      Very good”

      Staff are friendly and rooms were very clean. We were able to hear conversations in the next room. The location is good for this area of Chicago and for us with a family member in a nearby hospital. The night was noisy from nearby neighbors well past midnight and into the next morning. The pool is in poor shape and should not be listed as part of the hotel description.

      Great location and free parking”

      This is one of only two hotels that offer free parking. Very close to UChicago and commercial facilities. You can tale a great walk along the lake. The location is great. However, the hotel itself is old and a sort of motel type.

      Use only if you need to visit Hyde Park.”

      If you plan to do some business or tourism for more than 2 days and you brought your car, this is a good choice, despite the ghostly reception shown in the picture (the real one is around the corner). It looks very old but rooms are clean. The shower worked perfectly as well as AC.

      The hotel is fine. I have known it since I swam in their pool 60 years ago as a kid. My problem has been with Agoda! I asked for a non-smoking room with two beds and you book me a smoking room with a king bed. They were full for the weekend and could not accommodate a non-smoking room I asked you three times to fix this booking before I arrived!! You also charge by credit card for the full amount of the room last month long before I arrived!!! I am not happy with a Connor service and would never use you again.
