Liked: The staff was very helpful and friendly ...Cookie who checked me in was very helpful and informative about restaurants and public transportation. ...the atmosphere was good the private room I had was roomy ...no TVs in therooms but there was a TV room ..for me it felt like a throw back to the 50s. ..beds were pillow top and also had good pillows. ..location. .location. .location. .very centrally located I came in for the Blues Festival and it was only 3 stops and a couple blocks walk to Grant Park and Lake Michigan....anything you need is within walking distance.Blue line by the way was only a 2 minute walk and its right by Giordanos absolutely the best deep dish pizza I've ever had...will I stay there again. ..absolutely. ..
Disliked: There were a few things that would have improved the stay.like if there was an elevator. ..private bath ...steak and eggs for breakfast. .but that wasn't what I was paying for. ..did it meet my expectations. ...no..It Exceeded them...thank you for a pleasurable stay....

Liked: They have good breakfasts here and hot showers. You don't always know how good the water is going to be at a hostel so that was a nice surprise.
Disliked: The wifi cut out all the time. There also isn't much atmosphere and people don't mingle at all. As solo traveller it would have been nice to meet more people. I also had to pay $104 despite my booking on hostel bookers saying my bill in local currency was $88. So I kind of feel like I got ripped off. And if you're Australian and your dollar is weak that bit extra kind of adds up. For three nights in a dorm $104 is a bit steep.
