The hotel has spacious accommodations and is conveniently located near the city, making it great for exploring. While the cleanliness of the rooms was satisfactory, some areas showed wear and tear. The breakfast was limited, but the free parking was a definite plus. The sound insulation between rooms was disappointing, impacting sleep quality.

I had a stay at this hotel that was mixed overall. The location is great, being close to Hyde Park and the University of Chicago. The rooms were clean but felt like they were renovated on a budget, and I encountered some issues with the TV and internet connectivity which took away from my experience. The breakfast was decent and provided a good start to the day, but the lack of attention to some details in the facilities made me question the value for money.

I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I appreciated the prime location across from the beach. The breakfast was basic but adequate to start my day. One downside was that the check-in service could have been friendlier, which slightly detracted from the overall experience.

The hotel has amazing staff who truly go the extra mile, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for guests. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were noteworthy, though the breakfast setup was quite cramped, making it challenging during busy hours. My overall experience was marred by maintenance issues, particularly with the leaking ceiling, which was disruptive but caused by unfortunate circumstances during a busy event.
