Definitely will go there again. Very nice place which is located in Downtown. You go out and can find everything whatever you want.

The location is convenient, close to the subway station, and the front desk service was pretty good. However, the safe in the room was broken and unusable. It seems there's a bar downstairs, but it wasn't noisy up in the room. I recommend requesting a high-floor room as the air conditioning units outside on the lower floors can be quite loud.

This is a super cute vintage looking hotel. We stayed on the night of 29th November. The private quad is perfect for friends to crash for the night. The view from our room was nice. The bar and the lounge on the first floor was super cute and nice. Special mention to the receptionist - I forgot to ask his name, but African American dude. He is the best. Amazing hospitality from the staff.

It’s a cute place, and you pay for what you get. Bring ear plugs. Our room was super loud, and right next to a parking garage. The room was cozy, and the updated aspects felt like a nice addition. Our bathroom had a leak and it made the bathroom smell like pee. Couldn’t really use the bathroom trash can because it needed to catch the water. Let the staff know when we left, but didn’t say much about it. Hope it gets fixed.

The breakfast bar was awesome, literally the bar in the front. Great coffee and a good little breakfast. Lastly, the bar in the back is not to be missed, super fun, with an amazing staff.
Thank you for having Ron de Barilito on the back bar!

A perfect hotel for travelers looking for a clean, convenient place to stay without paying extra for fancy accommodations.

If you just need a clean and comfy bed, a toilet, and a shower this is the way to go for sure.

Staff and service were great. Location can’t be beat. Everything felt clean and comfortable.
23.10.2025 Guest
The services, facilities and customer services were not up to the nark, especially when it comes to travellers who were requesting some basic facilities, like there was np hot water, no cooking range, no coffee maker, etc. These are the very basic facilities. So much so, the attitude and behavioural issues were also there.
Not recommended for travellers and tourists!

Small room, but quiet and met my needs just fine. The room was clean and comfortable. The only things I would have liked to have seen would be an outlet near the desk area (only ones were near the bed) so I could more easily utilize the desk for working and a coffee maker, but honestly it worked out just fine. The staff were great from the bar to the front desk. Enjoyed my experience and plan to stay again as I visit Chicago regularly.

When I checked in, there was a US50 deposit, which they said would be returned to me when I checked out, but it was actually deducted when I checked out. This is a complete scam. I have already written to the official website, but have not received any response at all. This is terrible.

Really cool Art Deco hotel centrally located.
Only complaint with the room was our bed, it was well worn and sat really low to the floor.

Our room was small but adequate and our bathroom and shower were functional.

We spent a little bit of time in the cocktail bar that was like a speakeasy. Dimly lit with lots of nooks and comfortable seating.

The cocktails were good but definitely on the pricey side starting at $18.

When you're spending $43 a round with tip for 2 people it adds up quickly.

We actually found some reasonably priced drinks within walking distance of our hotel.

Definitely priced well and couldn't have asked for a better location.

Overall a great place to stay within walking distance of everything.

Great location, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again!

Had a great lunch today. Our server, Ryan was very hospitable and accommodating of us as we are both vegan. The food was delicious and hot and the portions were very generous.

Walked slightly off the beaten path of Michigan Avenue to this gem of a restaurant. It was surprisingly not crowded, and we received excellent service. The food was better than expected, and we avoided some long lines by choosing this over some deep dish.

Do not go here. My wife and I went to the bar and were completely ignored. When we were acknowledged it took forever to order anything. Once we did order something I had to ask for silverware and was given paper napkins not proper utensils. Our server Eileen was more interested in talking to her friends then serving her guests properly. I’ve never given one star and if I could give zero I would. Awful service, awful staff and the worst PF Chang’s I have ever been to. Do Not Go Here. They treat people like trash. The napkins were what I was given when I asked for proper utensils.
24.12.2017 Danielle
My fiancé and I went here last night. We were seated in an area where 3 servers were available. Not one acknowledged us for 15 minutes. We saw a hostess make a round of the area and approach a server. We overheard table 3 needed to be seen. 5 more minutes had passed and I approached that same hostess. She said they were “working” on it. Out of respect and good service, an apology would have been nice. Instead, a server just showed up and acted as if nothing happened. We didn’t even have water!
30.11.2017 Mario
Only reason its 1 star is that there is no 0 star option. Ordered from there for delivery. After one hour of wait, I receive an e-mail that the delivery was successful, although I still hadn't received the food. Turns out they delivered it to an incorrect address, not even close to mine (found out from Amazon Restaurants not from them as they wouldn't even answer their phone when I tried to notify them). Of course didn't receive any apology or compensation from their side either. terrible!

Excellent food and excellent service!!! Waitress was very nice and attentive despite a packed restaurant and lines out the door. Good ambiance. Busy place but u don't feel it. Recommendation is Very High without any reservation!!
27.12.2017 Lindsay
The food was delicious and the seating is unique--in the "booth" area, you sit on pillows around a table. We enjoyed our meal. The only problem is that they charge extra for rice, and is not included with curry dishes. Other than that, we enjoyed our meal, and everything came out quickly and still piping hot.
22.12.2017 Preeti
I am a Thai lover n we explored this place while roaming around downtown Chicago. I have tried different flavors of Thai and this place n their dish is my new favorite! Very crowded but happening place n very good service. Everything was garden fresh n delicious. Their chicken satay is must try with peanut chutney. Cashew chicken n ginger chicken were also delicious!
10.12.2017 Neesha
Friendly, fast service. The food was lacking flavor. Thai food is all about great spices coming together and I did not get that from my drunken noodles dish. Also, it had too many vegetables. My husband loved his curry rice and shrimp though.
14.11.2017 Silvestre
Amazing food, cool family restaurant. The stuff is super friendly, and they are always looking around and checking if you need something else.
I did Thai food before, but never like this one. If you like spice curry, noodles or just wanna try something different... Go here!
Prices are not bad neither.

Came here for some drinks the last time my husband and I visited Chicago. The bartender was great, and I love the vibe of the place, feels like your hanging out in a friends basement. All the people leaving negative reviews just don’t understand the concept...it’s a dive bar and it’s just supposed to be a fun experience. We didn’t order food while we were here, just drinks...they were very inexpensive but still good. Highly recommend checking this place out!!
18.01.2018 Bryan
This place is a classic Chicago visit, they have decent burgers and drinks. Located below Michigan Ave, take the stairs down and it will be around the corner. The steps are a bit small going into the restaurant so be careful. I'd definitely will be coming back to this location.
12.01.2018 Lauren
Checking off one touristy thing on our Chicago list was visiting Billy Goat Tavern. Ordering was simple, burgers were good and atmosphere was iconic. I don't think I'd need to go back here time and time again, but it was fun to check it out at least once!
28.12.2017 Brandon
“Doubles are the best!” This place was really good. They have thin patties but plenty of flavor. Worth going and experiencing the old time tavern feeling.
13.12.2017 Meghan
I know it's famous from the SNL sketch, but I didn't think it was anything special outside of that. The food was no better than a Burger King or something and the whole place is pretty informal, making it pretty hard for first-time visitors to figure out how it works. It wasn't super clean either. I don't know why it has such a popular reputation.
