It's definitely not a Marriott. But some of the best Dim Sum in the midwest is just a couple of blocks away at the Phoenix. And the red line is two blocks away, and where else can you find a hotel in Chicago for under $85 (book direct) tax included. Lousy TV reception and no view, but I'm not spending any time in the room except to sleep, so that's OK with me. IT'S NOT FANCY! Just clean, convenient and cheap.

Average but excellent for the price. I attended a large convention and the organizers listed all sorts of hotel options, all in the $200 plus range. All far from the convention. This place is walkable to the McCormick place. I would not walk at night. 3 minutes from the Metro. And, best of all right in the middle of a number of excellent restaurants. Mostly Chinese, but the type of places that locals line up for. The rooms are clean and adequate. Nothing grand. More like a dormitory at a college. But totally ok. Internet access is free and have terminals downstairs. Also a lunch room with microwave. Front desk are not the most helpful or polished in town. But, for the price this is a good place to stay. Especially if you are on your feet all day at the McCormick Place for an exhibition.

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. Non-smoking rooms reeked of smoke. Front desk was unhelpful (didn't have a firm grasp of English). In particular, the manager was outright rude. I had an incredibly negative experience. I left as it was unclean and disgusting and found another hotel. Do not make the mistake I made and make reservations on Orbitz as you will get charged for one night. I was there for 10 or 15 minutes and decided it was just not worth it and the hotel charged me for a night's stay and would not refund my money. Spend $50 more and go to some place decent. Stay away from this place.

It was what I expected for the price. The room was small but clean. The front desk was not very helpful but did hold on to a few items that I accidentally left behind until I was able to return later that night to pick them up. The parking was about a 2 blocks away from the hotel and a homeless man followed us into the hotel from the corner. I paid $72 for one night and I probably will not stay there again. One convenience was that the train was so close.
