    Only 2 restrooms both with showers they should have a Stand alone toilet. So when two people are each bath room you have a place to go.

    It was simple. Just a bed and TV

    The coffee area could be improved. It looked like a storage place.

    The room was exactly what I expected. No space was wasted. The location was very convenient.

    The shared bathrooms were not well suited for the purposes of a hotel. The toilets were wobbly, the bathrooms were poorly lit, and neither was equipped with grab bars.

    The bed was comfortable, and the place was VERY quiet. I really appreciated the secure, keyless entry and the easy access to the Red Line. There are numerous restaurants nearby, including all you can eat sushi across the street.

    They ask you to pay for cleaning fee and taxes that should be included in the Booking when you make the reservation

    The localization is perfect, especially for concerts in the Soldier Field that it was my case.

    They wanted to charge extra on arrival for 'cleaning fees', although my booking was pre-paid and there's nothing in the terms and conditions about additional fees.

    Clean and quiet. Reasonable location.

    Very much a capsule hotel, fine for a night's sleep but not suitable to spend time in otherwise

    There were a few issues, the clock in the room was integrated into the mirror and cast a blue light that was super bright with no way to turn it off or dim it, which made sleeping really challenging. The second issue I had was the smell of cigarette smoke - it's a no smoking hotel however I believe the person in the room next door had been smoking extensively, so when I came back to my room on the first night it was overwhelming, and I couldn't sleep because of it. Finally, although there is an aircon vent in the room, this is not controlled for each individual room therefore you have no real control of the climate, to the point that my room reached 80F one night and I had no way of turning the AC on.

    My stay at Hotel BnB was ok, the great thing about the hotel were the staff who were really helpful and did their best to help me in a timely manner, for example allowing me to schedule a late check out, and helping provide a temporary cover for the clock in the room which was extremely bright.

    The bathrooms are shared. They sometimes ran out of toilet paper or soap. The bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.

    No paper towels were in either bathroom my entire stay to dry my hands after washing. There was loud talking at times in the hall it was the staff not the residents. There is an emergency exit door that I saw a guy open, exit then enter back in, that was concerning because he could have easily let his friends in.

    Great location, I felt safe in the area. Close to convenience like coffee, groceries, food, snacks and cta train. To watch TV you have to use headphones(provided), I didn't expect that but I guess it makes sense to not disturb the rooms around you. Room was as expected a bed a tray and a tv, nothing fancy. You also get a little window to look out at the other rooms (no outside window). At night you are locked behind 2 doors from the outside PLUS your own room door so thats pretty safe to me.

    The blanket & linens on the bed were a old and need some updating. The SHARED bathroom wasnt dirty, but needed to be updated. I didnt feel comfortable taking a shower and i've stayed in hostels before.

    The location was great. The room was clean, quiet and the WiFi in the room was the best i've ever had in a hotel room and I've stayed in a lot of hotel rooms.
