Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were just the right size, incredibly comfortable, meticulously clean, and offered a great view. While I can only speak for the industrial-style rooms I stayed in, they had a minimalist feel that I found quite appealing. However, I did wish for some additional organization features like luggage racks. The service was a mix of average customer care, with instances of bins full of laundry and bustling kitchen staff, but overall they were friendly and well-prepared for our visit. The location was superb, close to public transportation and surrounded by trendy restaurants and bars. Although I had to request ear plugs, the vibrant atmosphere of Wicker Park was ideal for exploring nearby attractions and dining at vegan-friendly restaurants. Dining at the on-site Robey Caffe provided a pleasant experience in a charming setting, though it could be improved for the price. The facilities were satisfactory, catering to my basic needs during my stay.
My stay at the hotel was overall fantastic! The rooms were excellent, but unfortunately, my room was facing the train tracks, making it quite noisy. The service was a bit slow in some areas, but the staff was very attentive to food allergies. The location was perfect for exploring the local scene, though some amenities were not available early in the morning. The dining experience was pleasant, although it could have been better considering the price.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a modern yet vintage vibe that my family adored. The service was top-notch, although the parking situation could be a bit of a hassle at times. The location was perfect for exploring the vibrant Wicker Park/Bucktown neighborhood, although it could get a bit noisy. The dining experience was delicious but slightly overpriced. Overall, a great value for the money with so much to enjoy.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a little small for the price, were surprisingly comfortable. The service was exceptional at all hours but lacked accountability in certain situations. The location was perfect for exploring the vibrant neighborhood, although some areas could be improved. The dining experience was delightful, offering delicious options. Overall, an enjoyable stay with some minor drawbacks.
