"We stayed at Sentral after a trip to the Shedd with the kids. We had a great day and evening in the city and when we finally got to our room, we couldn't believe it! It was so spacious, we could have stayed for a week. Full kitchen, stocked with appliances, utensils, plates and glasses. Two full baths, two bedrooms and more closet space than we could have possibly used. Location was close to everything you'd need. We'll definitely be back."
