Very good location for my stay. The property is somewhat dated, looking the same as when I last stayed here 10 years ago. Refrigerator in room is most appreciated. Close to bus lines 36, 22, and 151. Have lunch at "The Bagel" a few blocks north for a wonderful Jewish Deli experience.

Major side of hotel was right next to alley way that was very noisy. There was people arguing and being loud well past 3 am. Our hotel windows looked right into the apartment across the way. Parking was at two public parking lots that were a few hundred yards away, and incredibly limited. We ended up having to use a public parking garage that was almost 1/2 a mile away. Staff was not knowledgeable about the area, we asked for recommendations and they acted as though they didn’t know the area. For the price, wished would have stayed at a motel 6, least we would have had coffee. No coffee was available in the lobby which often had people in it talking loudly on their phones. Over all not a place we want to stay again. Save your money, find somewhere else.

We stayed at the Willows for a hockey game at Wrigley Field. It was walkable, 1.2 miles. We did Uber back. Comfortable for a family of 4.

Decent property, it’s an older building so some things could be improved. My room had a big spider web in one of the ceiling corners. Neighborhood is nice, walkable restaurants and stores. Would possibly stay again for a night depending the circumstances

We've stayed here twice and both times were great. The location is convenient to Wrigleyville, which is where we spent a lot of time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was in the garage close by. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute little hotel on a quiet side street in Lakeview. Room was not overly large but great for a 2 night stay. So many shops, grocery, great restaurants and pubs nearby. Loved this hotel. Will definitely stay again

Cute small older hotel. Decent location with plenty of places around and parking garage catty-corner from hotel (separate from hotel so you have to pay for parking). Stayed in room 109. It sounded like someone was hitting the radiator all night. Temperature control for the room didn't work.I did not get much sleep.
