1. The elevator creaks from floor to floor, the parking-while free-is barely adequate and you better have nothing larger than a compact car to navigate the 'garage'.

19. Pros:- close to University of Chicago with shuttle service to/from campus 3x/day- free gated parking- friendly, helpful staffCons:- shower drain was backed up, so I showered in regurgitated bathtub water- thermostat dial broken and permanently set on hot, so I slept with the windows open in January in Chicago- TV did not work (remote or television itself).
