A neat place in a great part of town
Pros:

It is quite a neat place in a great part of town. We were actually glad to not have been in downtown during the busy marathon weekend. The sleep machine was such a welcome extra.

Cons:

The bathroom outside the room was unexpected.
Pulling the travel baggage up the stairs.
The noise from downstairs continued beyond the noise hours.

Great place and stay. Booked again.
Pros:

Super easy to navigate the contact less check in. The area you’re in is great! Close to the train.

Cons:

There is a bit of construction going on so sometimes there is a lot of noise that comes with that.

Would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Perfect for the price. Never heard a peep from any of the neighbors in the building. Very clean room and bathroom. The neighborhood was great. Nice quiet neighborhood. Only 4 miles from Wrigley.

Superb
Pros:

I like that I can do my laundry for free with this hotel, all that happen to bring the laundry detergent is quiet I have no complaints.

Cons:

I wish they had a kitchen so I can cook more rather than to eat out. And I wish the room was a little bit bigger other than that is comfortable.

Good enough, especially since it was non-refundable.
Pros:

Facility was very clean with modern furnishings. Well located in Logan Square, and may be the only hotel-like option. Good rate. Refrigerator, microwave and Keurig.

Cons:

Lots. We had to download Latch App to allow us to get in, as this was a humanless hotel. Although we consider ourselves reasonably tech savvy, this was somewhat daunting; I was told there was no other option of entry? That seems slightly discriminatory against the elderly who are less savvy; and there have to be 1 or 2 other guests over age 30 who were nervous? There was a lack of transparency about a room with a private bath; it was not ensuite as the bath was across the hall. We had 1 towel and 2 washcloths for a 4-day stay; no soap, shampoo or bathmat for the shower. In their defense, every time I called, they were happy to correct the situation. No written information of any kind was provided about the hotel, including that there was no elevator or housekeeping. However, they were very clear that your payment was non-refundable.

Very good
Pros:

It was our first time staying in a hostel in Chicago and I highly recommend Logan Square! Shared bathroom was no problem and everything was clean and nice. The latch system was super easy to use and the price of the room was great!
