We had tickets to House of Blues one night and instead of paying too much for something we really didn't need we found this place. Honestly if you're staying directly downtown Chi-town what do you really need besides a bed and free parking. Room was in good shape, pretty much just a bed and dresser. Bathroom apparently was clean enough because one of the friends we went with got drunk and passed out while bathing.All in all good little find, everything downtown is in walking distance.

Make sure you go walk downtown late at night and watch rats the size of dogs play in the street.

basic budget hotel in a fantastic location for access to bars, cafes, shops, etc. large rooms and friendly staff and a bargain if you don't mind not having the lil extras like coffee makers, shampoo etc.

Oh geez, where do I begin ? The only good thing I can say is Great location. This place was the worst in every other way. First off the furnishings are literally garbage . The table lamp in our room had black electrical tape wrapped around the center . The box springs have springs protruding and stains all over them.Some kind of red stain on the carpet,the wallpaper is coming off the wall. If that wasnt bad enough the people in the room next door were animals and fought and screamed all night untill 3 in the morning.Of course I wasnt going to sleep anyway,the bed was ready for the junk heap . I expected this place to be clean and maybe a little dated from the reviews I had read BUT ITS MUCH WORSE THAN THAT . Folks its not worth the few bucks you save . Go to priceline and get a room at the Hilton for about $35.00 more. This place was a DUMP ! ! !

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.
