"The space is adequately clean, you’ll have to personally inform the front desk should you prefer housekeeping to do their rounds in your unit. Staff were kind and accommodating. The location is accessible to bus stops just right across the entrance and another few blocks away."

Kasa Magnificent Mile Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Kasa was great! Pretty easy check in and check! I loved the space in the unit, it was well cleaned/prepped for our stay. A few of the night it got a little cool thankfully there was a heater/fan included so that we didn’t have to turn on the central heat. Extra pillows and linen was provided, as well as bag check/hold on our check out day which made it so easy to continue exploring Chicago before we had to leave. Super convenient to the train and bus system too. Whole Foods across the street and aldi at the rear of the building we couldn’t ask for more! I’d definitely stay again."
