Great location (Blue line CTA can take you to Downtown and O’Hare Airport). Staff is very helpful and accommodating. They were always available when needed. Room and bathroom were clean.

Perlita

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The space was comfortable, clean, and had a unique vibe. The building has a creative atmosphere with art, music history, and even a coworking space in the lobby, which made it feel more like a community than just a place to sleep. The location is excellent — just a block away from the Grand Avenue Blue Line stop — which made it super easy to get around the city. I also met some interesting people in the common areas, and the staff was friendly and made check-in easy. If you’re looking for something authentic, local, and a bit different than a standard hotel, Grand House is a great choice. Would definitely recommend for travelers who want a creative, social, and comfortable private stay in Chicago.
