After reading the other reviews on this site, I was expecting to have to barricade myself in my room while sleeping in my clothes and trying to fend off hordes of lice. In my experience, this hotel does not deserve the reviews it's received. Let me preface this by saying this is a "DISCOUNT" hotel. And they even call themselves... more

I stayed here one night in late November 2008. The service was friendly but when we got up to the room we turned on the heater (it was in the 30s outside) and within an hour the room was still cold. We told the front desk and when we got back the room was too hot! Also, the beds seemed... more

My friend and I visited Chicago in early April to see RENT. Unfortunately, we had booked a room at the Howard Johnson that was completely horrible and was able to find this hotel with an opening at the last minute! We were so grateful that they had a room for us. Paying $36/night for parking kinda hurt but the valet... more

Shower floor had thick shelack of filth and grime and god knows what else. Feet sticking to floor in shower!!! Thin throw blanket only on bed along with dirty bed spread. Hard to argue with price and location, but even a one night stay was unbearable. Lastly, were instructed the valet would need 20 minutes to get car - we... more

I am not a very picky person and that is especially so when you only pay $130 for a room in downtown Chicago-- you don't expect it to be fabulous, but you do expect it to be clean. The room was so small we could hardly get a round the beds and the decor looked like it hadn't been updated... more

Traveling with two teenage kids, we paid extra for the "deluxe suite." It was filthy. There were still crumbs on the floor and the bed sheets were NOT changed (there was someone else's hair in the bed already! How Gross!). The room smelled like dirty socks. The bathroom door was off the hinges. The bathroom had mold on the sink... more

This has to be the sleeziest, dirtiest, most disgusting hotel I have ever encountered. No heat, no hot water, leaking toilet and sink, window didn't close all of the way, filthy carpet, dingy linens, no customer service...The front desk was no help in correcting any of the problems with the room or with moving us into another one. (I actually... more

The hotel is well located, but the rooms you would hardly wish to remember: the window could not be properly shut, and there was no heating - in the month of November in this "windy city". Well, It seems that for this amount of money you cannot expect anything better in Chicago downtown... more

I stayed two nights at this so-called hotel. It was more like a housing project. The only reason that I stayed there was because I had business at Northwestern's School of Law and this hotel was very close. I'm surprised I made it out alive. The hallways are narrow and quite seedy. The elevators are slow and loud. This place... more
