Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights this past weekend, as we were in town for the DMB concerts at Wrigley Field. The location is very convenient to Wrigley Field, with it being about a 15 to 20 minute walk at a reasonable pace. We felt very safe walking around the neighborhood both day and night. Other than Wrigley Field, there's really nothing else "touristy" to do in this area, however the "L" stop at Addison is a convenient way to get downtown.
The room was fairly comfortable, and I felt it was decent value for what we paid. My only negatives would be 1) the air conditioner, and 2) the maid service. After playing around with the air conditioner for a while, we determined that when set at 70 degrees, the air conditioner would pump such cold air into the room that you could store meat for long periods of time without concern. For a hotel stay however, it was way too cold. The unfortunate thing was that once you turned it up just one degree to 71, the air temperature quickly made us feel as though we were in the southern Caribbean. There was no comfortable temperature, it was either extremely hot, or extremely cold. We finally just unplugged it. Our second complaint was the maid service. We left the room at 8:30am and placed one of those "make up the room please" signs on the door. When we returned at 4:30pm, we were disappointed that they did not make it to our room yet. Finally at around 5:15pm the maid made it to our room, at which point we told her not to bother. Definite room for improvement in that area.
Other than that however, it really isn't a bad little hotel. I'd definitely stay there again if I ever needed to be in the Wrigleyville area again.
