No title - user review Clean, nice lobby, not like the grand hotels of Chicago, but Frank Lloyd Wright styled. The large, clean rooms were similar.

No title - user review Don't rely on the outside appearance. The l train tracks are right above the street outside the hotel, and it was hard to find the entrance even when walking.
