The hotel was in a good location, easy to get around the city and close to lots of pubs and restaurants. The area felt safe enough. The outside of the building was a little run down and very retro. Our room was pretty bad, and was quite expensive too, at $169 a night. It really wasn't worth it and we... more

I stayed two nights at the HoJo on LaSalle while in town on business, I was a bit nervous about staying there after reading all the negative comments on the hotel, but during my stay I found the hotel to be in a GREAT location, the Brehorn Pub is right around the corner and has great food and an inviting... more

We found it clean, the help helpful, everything satisfactory. The free parking is a big plus. If you want luxury, don't stay here--the place looks like something out of the 1950s. I'm sorry for the fellow who had a hard time finding it, but they do have street addresses in Chicago. Excellent location, by the way--easy to get everywhere you... more

Our room was so dirty, we chose not to stay in it for even one night. Like the other reviewer, we also did not feel safe. Thankfully, we were there early enough to check out before we were charged - and I must say the hotel employee at the front desk was very accomodating when we told him we would... more

Good choice

This hotel gave me exactly what I was looking for; a fairly cheap rate (as Chicago goes) which allowed me to spend my money on other things. The free parking was a real plus. Somone said that it was hard to find, I found it incredibly easy to locate, just south of Superior on Lasalle. Room was a little dingy,... more

The first thing you'll notice is that this place is incredibly difficult to find. I drove by it four times before I noticed it. Second, the room had an unusual order that made my clothes stink. Third, the swing lock (chain lock) on the door was missing. Fourth, the sink in the bathroom was cracked and dirty. Fifth, the alarm... more

I am not one of those picky people. Often I stay at Motel 6. But this was one of the worst motels I've stayed at. Stayed in room d4. When I entered the hall leading to my room it stunk of urine. My wife was looking forward to taking a bath, but refused because the tub was dirty. The sink... more

Another great stay at Howard Johnson. My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week to attend the Bears vs Falcons. Same great service. This is my third stay here with no problems. Rooms are always clean and the staff friendly. This year I had breakfast and lunch at the on site resturant and came away very impressed. more

We stayed here in early 2005 for two nights. We found the check in staff very friendly, warm and welcoming. We had no problems with the room, it suited our needs of a place that was low on price, great location to Chicago and most of all the diner attached to the complex was fantastic. I would definitely Recommend the... more

I just chose this hotel because I checked this website and it is #49 in popularity. HOW COME??? The place is AWFUL!! Smells bad, non-secure, linens are old, disgusting. The window was broken, there is no concierge and the staff cannot even indicate tourist spots. I paid USD170 per night, and I really felt stupid. The location is not that... more
