1. The biggest drawbacks were really small shower with no tub, old AC/Heating system that does not allow for much control (though it was comfortable, I like to sleep in a cold room), and a slow elevator system.

2. The location was good for us - as we enjoy walking, and liked being opposite the park.

3. We didn't like the size of our room too much since it was a bit smaller than what I'm used to, especially the bathroom, but we were glad we only had to stay here for one night.

4. Also it was very close to lots of the museums like the Art Institute, Field Museum, and Shedd Aquarium.

6. The housekeepers were a bit off though, missing small things like changing the empty toilet paper, and stuff like that, but over all they were nice.

9. The sink smelled a bit like mildew, but that was my only issue with the cleanliness of the room.

10. The heating system did not have thermostat control- it was either heat is on or off- but I learned to turn off the heat at night since I like it cooler to sleep.
