“Sentral Michigan's view-filled apartments”
Sentral Michigan Avenue is a well-equipped apartment-hotel in a perfect Chicago location — walkable to everything, the park opposite and Buckingham Fountain five minutes, spacious modern units (a skyline-view one-bed then a lake-facing two-bed for one guest; room 2001's views were praised twice), quick check-in/out, a home-like feel, equipped kitchens, and attentive staff — a manager upgraded to a lake view after a payment glitch forced a night in another room type. The complaints: cleaning lapses — a disgusting carpet, a buzzing bathroom light, dirty utensils in drawers and only three forks for four; a five-hundred-dollar deposit; and self-sourced parking (SpotHero suggested).
