Don't be deceived by this hotel's affordable rates and great location. Our room was not cleaned very well--there was an imprint of an iron in the rug on our carpet. I've never seen anything like that. But wait--there's more! The hotel is infested with bed bugs! My brother and I stayed for one night in June, 2008, and left with... more

I visited Chicago for two days on a backpacker's budget so was looking for something cheap but tidy and close to the city. The Travelodge delivered on all my requirements. Some reviews I'd read on this site complained about noise from the street and nearby L train. I had a room facing the main street and had no problems. Staff... more

Good for travelers on a budget, wanting no frills. Easy access to Grant/millenium Parks. Walking distance to Michigan Ave. more

-Recently stayed at the Travelodge for the RSNA convention at McCormick Place. Many of the reviews are spot on - The rooms are clean, albeit dated, the staff is friendly and the location is great - but bring your ear plugs if your room faces the train tacks. It's pretty brutal. The HVAC was a bit of a mystery but... more

Friends and I recently stayed here for a conference at McCormick Plaza. We chose it because it is only one block from the Hilton, where the conference shuttle would pick us up. The location was convenient, walking distance to the el and the lakefront. The Wabash block has several chain fast-food shops and a classy liquor store, and many of... more

We came in from the Chicago Suburbs for an activity in the city. The hotel was just fine for 4 of us. We appreciated the room safe. Our room was in the back by the alley, but inspite of reviews that this was a bad location, it was actually quiet and probably better than the side with the "L" going... more

Although I was not sure what to expect for the price, we found the TravelLodge a nice place to stay. Yes, it is older but it was clean and served our needs. The staff was friendly and well informed on the easy way to get to the sites. We did have to ask for a hair dryer and toothpaste at... more

The hotel is good if you want to save money being in a very central location in Chicago. You are just few steps from Grant Park and from the subway stops in theLoop. The forniture and the internal aspect of the hotel are old-fashion and not fancy at all. Anyway you have a 30'' TV and free Wi-Fi connection. The... more

Let me start with a couple of positive notes on this hotel. For the Chicago Loop location, it's relatively cheap. The red line subway and the buses are just 1 or 2 blocks away . The rooms are quite large and the view is nice. Now come the bad parts: The EL train tracks are across the street. The passing... more
