The staff members were amazing, especially Ms. Alina!! Location is right next to the blue line station. Several things walking distance. Will definitely stay again.
Staff were pleasant, kind and helpful. Breakfast was not included and was $22. It was a regular hotel buffet. A hotel of this price/quality should either include breakfast or make it a nicer experience. No complaints regarding the room or cleanliness.

Staff were lovely and the hotel is not far from the bus station and union station. Rooms were spacious and we had breakfast too which was lovely. The hotel was lovely and warm especially with extreme temperatures outside.
Our room was ready early which is always nice to beat the afternoon traffic. Good distance from the city to where itβs not as busy and loud but still gives you the city feel. 10 minute uber drive, all in all a great location, very clean!

I am glad I chose this hotel. It's a perfect location steps away from the Clinton Blue line and Union Station. The hotel was clean, remodeled, modest and the staff was friendly and courteous. I definitely would stay again.
