Visiting Chicago for the marathon...

Liked: Everybody was extremely friendly and helpful. The hostel laid out an early morning breakfast on marathon day which was appreciated! The breakfast in general was available from 7am and even though basic, had a good selection of cereals and fruit. Coffee was also provided. The main lounge area too was spacious and a great place to converse with other travellers.The private room (w/shared bathrooms) was of a good size for me (solo traveller) and the hostel's wifi worked perfectly throughout the property.The location as well is great!Free popcorn is provided too! Would I visit again? Yes, I would.
Disliked: It could get quite loud of a night time with other guests banging doors etc, however to a certain extent this was to be expected. Walls are thin, so you can hear word for word your neighbours conversations.

Fabulous

Exceptional

Liked: Very clean
Disliked: Restrooms were not near the bedroom

Small and cramped

Liked: Nothing really
Disliked: The room was tiny, it looked nothing like the photos that must have been taken at some strange angle. We felt like we were staying in a cell. I don?t mind roughing it because it was cheap an close to the city but the room was no way big enough for 3 people and luggage. I would never stay here again. Also we had to pay $100 to park for 3 days which I felt was a lot.

Okay

Liked: A safe area. No need to worry if you get along at night
Disliked: No rules to restrict traveller who make loud noise at midnight. Bad for quality of sleep

Good
