Very nice facility. But the walls were so thin. Had a group of chatty gossip queens in the room next door to me that were up all night being loud and rude. It’s funny the whole floor was empty it seemed, except my room and there's. It was like they grouped us together on purpose. Room was nice otherwise. Breakfast was some cereal and eggo waffles.
We needed a nice clean comfortable place to rest our head and this was exactly it. The 24 hour reception allowed us to arrive after our late night flight, and the included breakfast was an unexpected surprise. We are so thrilled we found a new hostel to add to our list when we travel to Chicago, and we cannot wait to be back!
Booked this for two nights for my husband who needed simple economical lodging for a work trip that wouldn’t be reimbursed. This fit the bill perfectly. We got him the room with private bath and he found it comfortable, clean and quiet. He said the staff was wonderfully helpful and polite and that the stay overall was really a positive surprise. Would stay again.
Convenient location, easy access to lake, subway, restaurants, etc. safe neighborhood

The beds are not comfortable at all. The showers are way too small. No privacy, so just hope youre the only one in the nathroom at tue time. Theres like a drain right infront of the ahowers and it smells so bad.
I was not aware that this mostel is for out of state residents of IL only. It does not state that on their website. I have submitted a copy of their email to me stating that you will waive any fees. I have attached a copy of their email. please refund my money. thank you.
