I had a wonderful experience at the hostel located right in the heart of downtown Chicago. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to major attractions and public transit. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though sharing with others meant it could get a bit chilly. The breakfast options were a bit lacking, but overall, I felt like I got excellent value for my money. The laundry service and common areas added to the overall experience, making it a great choice for a city adventure.

The breakfast was okay; it was okay for a quick start to the day but could use more variety. I was hoping for more fresh fruit during my stay.

The common areas were large and inviting, with comfy couches and games like pool and ping pong. This added extra fun to the hostel experience.
