Check in at 3pm, not earlier, we arrived at 1pm and the room was not ready but they held our luggage with ID tags they placed on them and called to request the room be readied ASAP suggested we go and have lunch somewhere, we asked for a room on the lower level because they do not have an elevator... more

We are a family owned company, and I had a tight budget to run an exhibit at the McCormick center...so we chose the Cinatown Hotel Sro. You will find some helpful advice below. 1) Location, Location a) We stayed at the Chinatown Sro Hotel for a week (7 days). There is no "hotel parking" so if you brought a car,... more

Overall the Chinatown hotel got the job done. There are no elevators; i had to climb 3 stories with 2 bags and a backpack. The room internet did not work; but oh well. Check in time is 3pm but my room was not ready until 4:30p. Even then i had to ask; nobody said that it was ready. The room... more

This is the 2nd time I've stayed there. Very small rooms (standard) and rather large bathrooms, all was clean. I didn't need any help from the front desk so I don't know how good the staff is but they were friendly when I checked in. The biggest plusses are the price (around $100 including tax) and that the CTA Red... more

It's definitely not a Marriott. But some of the best Dim Sum in the midwest is just a couple of blocks away at the Phoenix. And the red line is two blocks away, and where else can you find a hotel in Chicago for under $85 (book direct) tax included. Lousy TV reception and no view, but I'm not spending... more

Average but excellent for the price. I attended a large convention and the organizers listed all sorts of hotel options, all in the $200 plus range. All far from the convention. This place is walkable to the McCormick place. I would not walk at night. 3 minutes from the Metro. And, best of all right in the middle of a... more

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. Non-smoking rooms reeked of smoke. Front desk was unhelpful (didn't have a firm grasp of English). In particular, the manager was outright rude. I had an incredibly negative experience. I left as it was unclean and disgusting and found another hotel. Do not make the mistake I made and make reservations on Orbitz as you... more

It was what I expected for the price. The room was small but clean. The front desk was not very helpful but did hold on to a few items that I accidentally left behind until I was able to return later that night to pick them up. The parking was about a 2 blocks away from the hotel and a... more

I came by in Sept 2006 for a conference with the plan to stay a few more days to see the sights. No way I could afford the $200/night prices of the typical downtown place for five nights...and that was discounted conference rate! The total would've been more than my monthly rent at that point and I live in LA!... more
