“The hotel's proximity to the University of Chicago is a definitive plus, and I think it's a solid choice for families visiting students. I also appreciate the free parking-a real benefit given the location, and knowing the area, it is a considerable advantage. Though some rooms could use a refresh, the friendly staff and lake views elevate the experience considerably in my opinion.”
