It's a fantastic coworking space for those that are looking for a spot to do work that is well appointed, welcoming and community-focused. Their leadership sets them apart and rather than focusing on squeezing dollars from their membership - they want to build a helpful, strong and welcoming community for everyone. We have private desks which at the current rate is a steal for anything in Logan or other neighborhoods, but public space abounds for those not looking for a private space. There are conference rooms, phone booths and common areas that are all able to be reserved by their online system. I've been to a number of coworking spaces that are either incredibly pretentious or try so hard to be cool and edgy that they lose their purpose. People can actually get shit done here and meet others that are entrepreneurs who can benefit their company. We've added 3 contractors to our company roster simply by being here and they have added to the quality of work our company provides. If you're looking for a space to call your own, get work done and hang out in a wonderful community - Second Shift is the place for you.

Joining totally got me out of a work funk, I'm more productive when I come here, and now I actually appreciate it when I do work from home! If you're looking not just for a workspace, but for someplace you can meet people and make connections, this is the spot.

You know when something falls into place perfectly and you can't begin to comprehend how you got so…read morelucky? Yup. That's what happened here. When I was super duper pregnant I saw an article that a coworking space with childcare was opening in Chicago. My husband and I already worked from home pre-pandemic so I got incredibly excited, but was prepared for the location to be in the West Loop or somewhere like that. Nope! It was down the street! From the moment we went to the open house we fell in love. The space is incredible. Beautiful brick, new flooring, elegant light fixtures, comfy couches, tables, individual desks, pumping/meeting rooms, a kitchenette with high chairs, and an open play space for our baby. But lo and behold, it got even better! We obviously couldn't sign up right away since said baby was still in my belly. In the time that I had our daughter and we figured out how to become parents, Le Village added the option of private offices. My husband and I share 12' x 10' office and it is truly life changing. I love having our own little space adjacent to the coworking area. I've gotten to decorate it, our daughter has room to play, and we have a private kitchenette, bathroom, and conference room on our side of the house. The teachers we've had so far have been so kind and welcoming. They love our daughter, log her feedings, diaper changes, and naps on an app in real-time. I love that they change the activities up throughout the day so our daughter is engage. They are also very responsive to my naggy mom requests (do not let her sleep more than two hours!). We are so excited to be part of the Le Village community! The only downside is that we've only experienced it through a global pandemic so it's been a bit harder meeting people with masks on, but that means we're also being safe! Great precautions taken for COVID. I hear we're going to do some outdoor social events so we'll get to see our parent friends' faces for the first time. Imagine that!

We had our kiddo's 5 year old party here. It's a great space! There's a play area, lounge area,…read morekitchen, and large table for the kiddos to sit together. Pricing was very affordable for all we got. The owners were very nice and welcoming.

This is my first time to visit some place like this. I saw that people use this space as a space to…read morework , come here to work on laptop and read (mostly), and probably during the weekdays. We used it for a graduation party. One of our friends invited us here for a graduation party of her son. It is basically a furnished, non expensive (compared to playrooms) space for renting. You can rent it for a few hours for reasonable price, have an event/party here, bring your own food and drinks, use a TV which is in the room ( many different channels) and enjoy with friends! Very nice space! Don't know how it works when you just want to come here and work for a few hours, but I know you can rent the whole space if you need it. Anyway- Highly recommend!

The company responded quickly and came out to fix it right away. I believe they have now upgraded the printers and Wi-Fi since. I really enjoy working at B&M

There's lots of different options in terms of memberships or how you'd like to work, whether you need a small private office, a large conference room or just want to chill on a comfy chair and read.

There's lots of cozy seating, computer monitors you can plug your laptop into, free coffee, free printing, and easy, unlimited access to the space. There are also little design touches that I find charming, especially the light fixtures. :)

The office space is clean and modern. I use a flex desk which is fine for my needs. The only concern I've ever had is that if you're not here earlier in the morning - and you need a dual-monitor desk - they fill up fast. I've found the people that share the space are very nice. A few tend to get loud on the phone at times, but no worse than if I were to work at a Starbucks. There are private phone areas as well - so most people use those. The staff is very quick to reply and friendly. I deal with Melissa the most and have found her professional and pleasant. The internet has been slow a few times (as stated below), but I think that's more of an issue with the provider versus this location. In any event, when this happens the problem is always addressed quickly. If you need a break from working at home, I'd suggest trying this out. Co-working spaces/office sharing helped me put more structure around my work day. And made me more productive. Can't complain on that.

I wasn't too happy with my stay here. It's a nice building, good location, and friendly staff, but…read morethere were a few things that made my stay unsatisfactory. The first issue being that the entire hallway leading to my room reeked of cigarettes (both days we were there). This is gross and frustrating to encounter in 2026. The second issue being that the pillows in the room were overly squishy and offered no support. I called the guest services number at 2am asking if they had firmer pillows. The woman on the phone said they have foam and feather pillows. I requested two foam pillows be brought to my room. I was pretty surprised when they brought pillows that were as squishy as the feather pillows already in the room. Definitely bring your own pillow if you prefer supportive pillows! When I checked out no one asked me how my stay was or anything along those lines. Disappointed.

I booked here to be close to Wrigley since I have elderly parents and we needed a close place to…read moreregroup before the game so I paid a premium for a room - and the cheapest room came with a view of the park. Great, right? The photo on the Bonvoy site had a nice view of Wrigley and the view of the room they first gave me... did not. Very misleading so I asked for a better room and got it. I understand that this is 'the game' that you have to play sometimes but was disappointed given that I'm Gold Elite and usually this sort of game isn't played. The view *was* great - nice view of the park - you can even see the ivy, and of course you can see Gallagher Park which is a multi-use space next to Wrigley where player statues are. However, the soundproofing of this hotel is abysmal and they should supply earplugs and eye masks. There's a gap between the blackout curtains and the top of the window so there was a thin but bright light coming through as the sun came up. And then there was the 7am workout class. 7am ON THE DOT I heard crazy loud dance music and sure enough I peeked out and saw a class in the park. Listen, I know it's a city and sounds are going to happen but this was so loud that the hotel could - and should - take steps to mitigate the inconvenience of being awakened by a fitness class at 7am. Otherwise, hotel is fine. You're paying for the location - and you get it. Not for biz travelers. Good for families and folks traveling with pets. Room layout is practical - lots of plugs next to bed and by the desk - with included iron and ironing board, safe, robe, and slippers. No lotion in bathroom but shampoo/conditioner/body wash in shower, and soap by sink. What you'd expect (but the lack of lotion was weird). Breakfast buffet is also fine - $26 for cereal, fruit, pastries, scrambled eggs, pancakes, etc. Nothing extraordinary but the space is gorgeous and also has an outdoor area if you want to look at the park while you eat. Hotel could really shine by adding bedside earplugs and eye masks, making it more explicit upon check-in that you need to request a coffee maker or fridge in your room, and improve the light seepage on those blackout curtains. These all are easy - and thoughtful - fixes.

There's meter parking in front and lots of parking available on the side streets. Mariah, the owner, was really helpful and was there before setting up to answer any more questions I had and to show me around. I highly recommend booking here, I had such a great experience.
