This hotel is in a perfect location downtown. The cleanliness wasn't the best, but if you're going to Chicago for the city, and not for the hotel, it's definately worth it. The cleanliness mentioned in other reviews was not experienced during our stay. We had a blast in chicago, and the Red Roof Inn provided a great night's sleep for... more

We stayed with my 2 daughters (8 & 12) for an overnight fun trip in Chicago. We booked on priceline & got a great rate, so I suppose you get what you pay for. I had been reading others reviews on the hotel & honestly was terrified on what we'd find when we arrived. I was prepared to forego my... more

We couldn't have asked for a better location for the money. That said, I travel quite a bit with my job and the Red Roof Inn on Ontario is one of the worst hotels I have had the pleasure to stay in. When we arrived, the air conditioner in the room did not work. I called the front desk to... more

I booked through Red Roof's site, some promotional rate they had. I had a hard time figuring out where in Chicago the hotels were, as I wanted to be near certain addresses. Asking a native for the name of the neighborhoods, as well as spotting some hotels, helped. The hotel on E. Ontario is a great location. Checking in was... more

I stayed with a coach group and found that the hotel was dirty and the staff rude, maybe because we were in a group they didn't seem to care. The carpet in the hallway on our level was filthy and/or stained. Our room was OK but I was too afraid to touch anything. The bathroom seemed fine. The lobby was... more

On a recent business turned leisure trip to Chicago my boyfriend and I were booked to stay at this hotel. I read the reviews and was apprehensive, but I didn't make the booking so I didn't really have a choice. It seems as though the reviews for this hotel are bipolar. My experience was definitely on the negative side. The... more

Dear traveler, I had a real pleasure to spend some days in this hotel. I must confess, I read the comments about this hotel only after booking it. Therefore, before getting there, I was scared to death. But, after arriving, I had a great wonderful surprise. Everything was perfect: clean room, good conditions with regard to the price, best location,... more

The hotel is one block away from the Magnificent Mile and that's why we went there. Also because it's one of the cheapest in Chicago downtown! We had to wait a lot to check in because the room wasn't ready. The room wasn't very clean either. We think that the person that cleaned it was loosing her hair, because there... more

Booked this hotel on Priceline and was somewhat concerned when we saw which hotel we won. The location relative to Michigan Avenue couldn't have been better. The room was decent sized and had a nice tv. The bathtub was dirty and didn't drain well, and the carpet was not vacuumed very well. It's fine if you're looking for a room... more

We traveled with students and had a block of 6 rooms. Of the 6, 3 tv remote controls did not work, 1 tv did not work, and 1 blowdryer did not work. There was a suspicious stain in one room that looked like blood. We found lettuce on the floor in one room and hair on the sheets in another... more
