Had two lovely stays in Chicago at Jewelers Row. The online verification before the first was a minor hassle, but the apartments were spacious and clean. After that good experience, talked my crew into staying at at the Long Beach City Center Hotel. $20pp to check in an hour early, despite all being Titanium/Ambassador. Hotel was fine in that hipster rehabbed motor court style, but that fee left a bad taste in my mouth the whole stay.
