I travel a lot, domestic and international, and this was my first time to stay at hostel. It was a great first experience! I was in town for the Pearl Jam concert at Wrigley Field, and like a few others my age [50s], we picked Wrigley Hostel due to the location. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE LOCATION! I will say that being older, if I could request a lower bunk next time I absolutely would. Getting down was fun! :) The only inconvenience I would say is the lack of AC. I know it's an old building, but the only AC I felt was the window unit in the room. The common areas [the lounge area is wonderful!] were quite warm. Being from TX I am used to the AC going all the time in the summer. I will definitely stay here again if I travel to Chicago solo. Great experience for this first timer.
