I stayed at this motel with 2 other girlfriends and we loved it. When we first pulled up we were a little nervous about it. Before we went in we called the Best Western across the street and they were $180 where the Ohio House was $120 and it didn't really look any better then the Ohio House. We ran into a few ladies just leaving their rooms and they told us to stay because the rooms were good and clean. They even let us in to look and we were happy with them. We stayed for a weekend and were so happy we stayed there. The rooms are not fancy but they were clean and I can't say enough about the location it is close to Michigan Ave only about 5 blocks a quick 5-10 minute walk and one of the train stations is over one street on Grand, very close. Other friends with us had booked on Michigan ave at the Congress and it was way down on S Michigan, a very long walk, and about $100 more. The beds were great and the shower was nice and hot. There is a sports bar across the street and it was a little loud on Friday and Saturday night around 2-3 am although only one friend was awakenend by the noise where the other two of us slept fine and didn't hear a thing. She said it wasn't all that loud and she was able to get right back to sleep. Not a big deal because you are in heart of the city so you hear horns and such anyway. Believe me when you're in the city I don't know why you'd waste lots of money paying for a room that you're only going to be in to change, shower and sleep, there's too much to see and do for hanging in a motel room. Anyway the staff was great. We couldn't ask for anything better, they were very friendly and nice. One night at 12am we couldn't get the cable to work and the older night deskman came up to get it working for us, super nice man. We were really happy with the way you enter your rooms too. There is different sections A, B, C, etc and you have to use your key to enter into the hallway then there's a downstairs with 4 rooms and an upstairs with 4 rooms so it's great cause it's really safe and the doors to your rooms are not opening to the outside like the pictures on the wewbsite look like. It's worth it to stay here because of the location and price. We are definitely staying here when we come back to Chicago.

Location is north of the river, great accessibility for all central parts of town. Free parking if your staying, no valet no cost, which is amazing for this location.

the cheapest place we stayed. Rooms are basic and wifi costs a little extra. But the rooms are clean enough with some quaint decorative items in the room. Some would call them old, i like to see them as eccetric.

if your doing Chicago on a strict budget keep this motel and number in mind. You will save money on the other hotels in central locations.

Highly recommended.

I stayed at this motel for a whole week while I had some meetings at downtown. While booking the motel I was a little bit worried because it wasn't a chain-motel and some reviews reported noise. This is why I asked in advance a quite room at the second floor. When getting there I was surprised to see a very nice and clean motel, very good maintenance, a comfortable room and a renovated bathroom. The desk clerks were very professional and kind. The location was good, in a walking distance from most of the downtown attractions. The surrounding has a lot of restaurants and fast food places. To make it short- I was very content with my selection of this motel which offer a very good value for its price.

What a fabulous find. We booked on the strength of the reviews on Trip Advisor and was not disappointed.

This place is a real gem for the budget price. You can't go wrong.

We were in the States for 2 weeks and drove from Rochester, MN to Chic. Parking is free and that is a huge bonus in downtown Chic.

Loved the location. Everything is within walking distance and there are an abundance of restaurants around. Ask the receptionist to recommend a traditional Chicago pizza place. You won't be disappointed. We were in for a shock. Portions were huge!

I just can recommend this place! My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights and we had a great time. Nice clean room and a very clean bathroom! Just the nightclub on the otherside of the road was a bit noisy!
