I haven’t stayed in a hostel for many years, and was delighted to see how clean and welcoming and quiet this is. And that it has all sorts of community building activities for those who are alone in a big city. (I joined family so didn’t use the hostel for anything more than a bed)

Great location, incredibly easy access to the Chicago Institute of Art and the L-system. Price of a room makes the entire city much more accessible.
