"The medical center was across the street. The hotel was clean, and the room was modern and organized.2020-06-30"
"Walk to Rush Medical. The hotel was older and obviously had undergone renovation. Not worth the high price. There was a gap around the room door that let in light and hallway noise. No information in the room about the restaurant, though there was a room service menu. The breakfast buffet cost $20. I recommend walking a few blocks south to Taylor Street, where you'll find an assortment of restaurants.2017-10-29"

"Decent rates. My accessible room was beautifully appointed, but it hadn't been cleaned in some time. This was addressed while we were out to eat. The bed was comfortable, but there was no desk and the clothes bar was too high. Needed more counter space by the sink.

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
