The Central Loop Hotel is located in the financial district of downtown Chicago about 1.5 miles from Michigan Avenue. We found that we could go to the Navy Pier,Michigan Avenue for $7-$10 per taxi ride. It is not the Westin or the Omni but it was great for what we needed. We had a one room suite with a kitchenette. It had a over the range micro,u-line refer,two burner glass cooktop and a number of small appliances. We paid $115 per night. It was a bargin. The service was excellant. It was great for sleeping and being close enough to all the attractions that $115 a night was much better that $300 a night. You can take a lot of cab rides if you get my drift. It is worth your time to check out. Walgreens and CVS stores within a block of the hotel. There is also a 7-11 kitty corner and a Pot Belly sub shop two doors down. Pot Belly subs rule. Taste great and were cheap. This is a great hotel for the budget traveler.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at this hotel at the end of May 2009. It's location made it perfect to walk to various attractions, such as sears tower, Magnificent Mile etc, within 15 minutes! The rooms are sizeable and, for once, the beds are comfortable. The Elephant & Castle pub is next door, with great food, good beers and great staff.
I would recommend this hotel to friends and family, but if you're looking for total comfort, look elsewhere. I would say this hotel is for a 2 or 3 night stay and no longer.

Stayed a couple of nights at the Central Loop hotel as part of our road trip across the US, The hotel provided a good location to visit Sears Tower (discounted tickets available from reception) and other Chicago landmarks. Check in was very quick, the room was a good size and clean, complimentary water and coffee. My only criticism would be the walls lacked sound proofing as we could hear the TV from the adjacent room a little too much at times. All in all though, a reasonable price for a good location.

Me and my fiance' decided to get away just before our wedding. Club Quarters offered a reasonable rate at a well situated locale...The good...check in was fast and the, tall, blonde haired guy working behind the desk was accomodating and super efficient...Kudos to him. Unfortunately, everything else was lacking. Rooms were of substandard condition. Due to the age of the building, the walls did not have sound proofing. The doors also were without air compressors so that they would slam when closed. I tried to take a nap about 3:30 and all I could hear were kids and adults slamming doors and running around. The room also had a thermostat which would seemed to be non-functional...Me and my fiance froze our butts off even after raising the temp to its highest level. I have seen better bathrooms in 3rd world hotels and no tub. My fiance got a workout moving furniture just so that she could find an outlet for her ITouch.

We then decided to go get some pizza at Bucina's(sp?) which we saw in our hotel's restaurant advertisement book. Well, I asked for directions from the girl at the front desk who circled its approximate location. In reality, all she had to say was that it was at the Club Quarters north location which was clearly on the map. Thanks for having us walk in circles for 30 minutes....

At the time of our checkout, we decided to get some breakfast at the English pub next door. Don't even bother. We were hoping to get in and out fast so that we could get to the Field Museum...No such luck.. Waited for 15 minutes...no service I finally had to "tackle" one of the waitresses to find out what was going on. The end result was $6.00 for orange juice I never ordered, one slice of toast with the food, the orders were wrong, and stiffed when I paid the bill because the manager said there was no change? I actually went into the hotel to tell the front desk what happened and the girl who was looking gave me a beautiful smile and a blank stare. Unfortunately, there were few restaurants open on Sunday near the hotel otherwise I would have ran for the hills. In the case of the hotel, I ran for the exit.
