Reviews and Ratings
I had a pretty good stay at this hostel while running the Chicago marathon. It's super affordable compared to hotels, and the cleanliness of the dorm was impressive. The shared kitchen and common areas were decent, though my experience with the private kitchenette was disappointing. Plus, I encountered some issues with hot water during showers. Overall, it was a solid choice for a budget traveler, despite a few shortcomings.
