My stay at McCormick Place Guest House was great and offered good value compared to hotels. I would recommend you contact the guest house well in advance to organize check-in - I sorted that out about a week before my stay and got very clear, easy to follow instructions. They were also able to help me get back into the house after I checked out but realized I had left something important back at the house.
After seeing some reviews I was a little concerned about the neighborhood the property is in, but I felt safe the whole time I was there. The street is very well lit at night which helps - especially when checking in after dark. The only issue I had with the area was that there wasn't a lot of dining options nearby other than fast food. One day I wanted pasta and it was a 1.3 mile walk to get to an Italian place.
The house itself is nice, especially the communal areas. I didn't cook at all, but the kitchen seemed decently equipped to cook a meal.
My room was on the lower floor. There was a shared fridge on this floor which was useful for drinks and things - saved me going up and down the stairs to the kitchen. Room was clean and simple - bed, chair, bedside tables, small wardrobe. Bathroom is shared, but on the lower floor I think it was only shared between 3 rooms so I never had any issue with using the bathroom.
I would happily stay again if I am ever back in Chicago and want to save some money as staying at a hotel in the loop or old town is very expensive.
