For the past five years I have gone to the Taste of Chicago and stayed at this hotel with NO problems. Its nice, safe and above all its CLEAN. It offers a simple place for you to rest your head where you dont have to worry about someone breaking into your car at night. The overnight check in is located... more

We stayed in this motel in July 2005, at the peak of the busy travel season in the US. When we booked the motel, we read other Trip Advisor reviews and were expecting a no-frills but clean and decent motel at a great price. That's exactly what we got. I gave it 4 stars not because of how fabulous it... more

I'm a wheelchaired patron and I found this hotel uniquely accessable given it's size and age. I have personally written to the ADA commenting on how well they caitered to my needs. The rates were reasonable, and the retro atmosphere kept me amused between the nights. more

We stayed at this MOTEL for 3 nights March 2006. We paid $72.00 per night. We did not have a car as we flew in and used public transportation (bus, subway, taxi) during our stay. If you are using only public transportation and want to leave the hotel, I would NOT recommend this MOTEL. We took the bus on the... more

Nice and clean motel. But for business travelers, your not up to current trends like something simple as Internet Access. Not even Dial-Up!! Please get with the times. I have to go to a cafe to do work on the internet. more

We read all the reviews in the various websites (also found this in Frommer's Budget travel magazine). It's 9 miles north of downtown, but we were driving so it was perfect for us. Cheap, clean, and Krispy Kremes for breakfast! I had read in a few place that the traffic was noisy, so we asked for an upstairs room back... more

I hesitate to even write a review of the Heart O' Chicago because I don't want anyone else to know about it!! I've stayed there at least a couple times a year for the past 6+ years. The motel is very basic, but it is decently maintained, clean and the staff are friendly and even remembered my name after a... more

It is a motel but it is clean and the help is very friendly so I give it an above average rating. We stay there everytime we go to Chicago. We would rather spend our money on food and fun than an overpriced room in Downtown Chicago. more

Great value

Excellent value, did not feel unsafe in the area at all. Bus #22 runs downtown 24hrs and takes around 30 minutes. Free coffee and donuts for breakfast, rooms are clean and well kept. more

Bring earplugs! Also if you are the least bit sensitive to cigarette smoke, try to inspect a room before you pay for one. You might find an ashtray in your "non-smoking" room. Bearing this in mind, the motel is $65/night and is not in a bad neighborhood. Beds are soft and very comfortable. The place is a small 60's retro... more
