Lovely stay; room was perfect. Spacious, clean, elegant. Beautiful backyard courtyard with a waterfall fountain gave me a secluded space to relax outside in a very busy neighborhood. The neighborhood was awesome too, so much to see, eat and do. I also got the best massage of my life from the ruby room spa.

Disappointed with the condition of the room. The carpet looks and smells dirty, which makes the room smell musty and dusty. The bathroom door in room 3D does not close. The headboard is not properly attached and bounces when one gets on or off the bed. No television which as
I understand is not something rooms have but pictures online show a tv in a room and the room we were in has the tv hook up. The towels were stained, I was told we would be getting a new set asap along with a room refresh. Got the towels 2 hours later, which were also stained and the room refresh didn’t happen. There is no daily housekeeping. The location is great.

Location is always worth a price hike.
It was a nice area and the room was beautifully decorated. Much to my disappointment, there wasn’t a TV, coffee, or ice machine. So, it was lacking in a few amenities that would have made the price worth it.

comfortable bed, clean space, nice bathroom; very steep steps to climb to the third floor (be aware if you have heavy luggage); no tv or other amenities in the room (much more like a guest room and less like a hotel). great location, but not much else going for it.

The room is nice and clean. The room didn’t have a tv so that was odd. I like having noise to fall asleep.

Great location
Great space in a very convenient location. Lots of restaurants in the area and easily walkable to The Salt Shed. Stairs ARE narrow and steep but didn’t bother us.

It’s a cozy room in the center of a safe area in Chicago. It’s really pretty and a lot to do right when you step out of the building. Highly recommend!!

Nice room, definitely be prepared for the stairs, two steep flights up to the first floor of rooms.
Somewhat odd shared kitchen setup between the rooms.
The room was spacious and clean, shower water pressure left something to be desired.

Fourth Floor Fitness Test
This place was cute, above the city streets on Division. This room was on the fourth floor, so I was not prepared to lug my heavy luggage up the whining staircase, so just be prepared. Broken shower nob, no wifi..but Cute place.
