We are a family of 4, with two 8 years old boys who came to Chicago for few days. We chose this hotel mainly for the location, the price and the room that offered a suite-style 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. While there is no doors to separate the bedrooms, they are far enough to allow some separation. The room was clean with a full equiped kitchen. The staff was very nice, smily and very helpful. We also took the option of the parking as we drove from Ohio that, is a way cheaper option to park in Chicago. Overall, it was a very good surprised with a great quality/price.
