We were visiting a few Chicago places, but one key one was on the L. Unfortunately, there were no hotels near that destination, so we looked near other L stops and found City Suites. The front desk staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The on-line experience was mixed: I couldn't get clear information about parking from the web site, and e-mails gave a contact e-mail address that was never answered. Calling for parking gave me the address to use for local public parking, down the block and around the corner. I was surprised to discover that the room had a minibar: Snacks and drinks, with a price list. I don't think I'd seen that in a US hotel in over a decade or two. It was convenient, though. Another convenience was a QR code for a room delivery service that would provide pizzas, sandwiches, pasta, and so forth. While there are nice restaurants in the neighborhood, the "room service" option ran later. You pay for the privilege, of course, but they delivered ahead-of-schedule the two times I used it. For breakfast, we did the Chicago Bagel Authority one day. They specialize in steamed sandwiches, even if you just get a bagel and cream cheese. The result is hot and fresh-tasting. (Don't ask for a toaster!) Don't expect to have a great view. Our windows looked out on the brick wall of the building next door, with only the width of the ground-level passage in between. You'll get daylight, but you aren't going to see much. (I was in Tokyo earlier this year, and paid more for this same experience there!) The bathroom does not have a fan. It's an old Chicago code that allows bathrooms with an outside window to avoid vent fans. Our window had louvred windows that could be opened, though. I would definitely stay again if I needed to be in that area, or needed that nearby L access.
