A quiet neighborhood in Chicago, within walking distance of a beautiful sand beach on the lake, is hard to come by. This hotel provides clean, budget-quality lodging and covers your basic needs to sleep and shower, leaving you free to explore the wonders of Chicago. Free parking is included. Nothing snazzy or fancy here. It is a five-minute walk to the lake-side beach/park, the "L". and the nearest coffee shop or pub/eatery. My husband and I stayed for four nights and found NOTHING to complain about!
