A place right out of a movie: hexagon tile floors, an elevator that holds four with a cage door to close before it works. If you want to visit Chicago, don't mind some rather simple place to stay, and want to be two blocks north of the scoreboard at Wrigley; this is it. I keep expecting Faye Dunaway and Jack friggin Nicholson to come around the corner anytime. A bonus is access to the redline el that takes you downtown to anything else you might want to visit: Lincoln Park Zoo, anything on Michigan, the museums, Soldier field, etc. North (away from the ballpark) you find a latino neighborhood with a mexican grocery store and a wonderful panderia, just right for breakfast goodies. Several taverns in the same location with non-wrigleyville prices. Five stays there, intend a sixth this summer.
