Although the standard rooms were quite nice, the small bathrooms were fitted with a large sink and a bulky wooden support which obstructs your seat. You'll need to sit sideways in order for things to work out. My colleague's room (1821) reeked of cigarette smoke which was attempted to be covered by an air freshener. The emotionless elderly receptionist coldly offered another room. The signs in the hotel indicate the fitness center is on the 3rd floor, but the room's directory (black binder) indicated it's on the 15th floor. The center consists of a couple of treadmills and 3 sets of small weights (that I didn't see). If you want (wireless) internet, you must spend time in the lobby, or spend $9.95 per day.

I absolutely loved this hotel. I was a bit afraid when I booked it, because of the extremely low nightly rate of $58 (which I acquired through the hotel's website), but it proved to be a wise decision!

After reading some reviews on TripAdvisor, I thought the rooms would be incredibly small and cramped. I was actually very surprised and satisfied when I walked into my Queen Deluxe room on the 14th floor.

It was more than adequate for my budget trip to Chicago. The room was larger than I expected and even had a desk area to plan out my daily activities, which was a plus. The room was spacious and I did not feel claustrophobic once over my three night stay.

The queen bed was comfortable and had nice clean white linens. The mattress was a bit firm for my liking, but they can't please everyone when it comes to firmness or softness.

I had also read some reviews on TripAdvisor about the "awkward" bathrooms. My bathroom was fine. It was on the small side, but big enough for one to use. It had a lovely faucet sink and a typical shower/bath setup.

The only thing I can critique about my room was the TV. The picture was incredible fuzzy, but I suppose I wasn't in Chicago to watch TV anyways.

All in all, the Queen Deluxe room (their most basic room) proved to be a comforting and welcoming space with enough room for the solo traveler or intimate couple. It has all the amenities a hotel should have and came at a price that couldn't be beat.

The location was awesome too; one block off the Magnificent Mile and in a central and safe area with a 24hr Dunkin Donuts right beside the hotel.

Will I stay at this hotel again? Most definitely. The friendly staff, safe and welcoming rooms, plus affordable prices make this hotel a no brainer! Thanks Inn of Chicago for the awesome stay in your city!

I would avoid this hotel. The pictures do not represent the hotel. Yes, the lobby is "nice" but the rooms are awful. When checking in, they asked if we would like a larger room but it would have only a shower, not tub. We agreed. The room was so small, we barely fit two people in it. They neglected to tell us the room was a handicap room so the shower head was not an appropriate height for a standing person. We could here EVERYTHING from another room through the vent in the bathroom. My husband ended up removing the grate and stuffing a towel in it. Everything from the hallways was amplified not to mention the ac/heating unit sounded as if it were going to take off to Mars. I was woken up each and everytime it turned on and shut off. We have stayed in hotels much nicer than this on the Mag Mile for roughly the same cost. Don't be fooled. Do your homework and you can find a better hotel for a great price. Oh and I believe it had been some time since the bathroom was last cleaned.

Bed bugs. Stay away. I am pretty forgiving when it comes to hotels. I always stay at chains with my rewards points but this was cheap, looked very nice on the website, and had the perfect location. Since i was staying one night, i fugred, what the heck, take a chance. The hotel looks like the spent a lot of mone ymaking it look like a boutique in the lobby, but what they do spend on lobby decore they dont spend on cleaning staff or the room upkeep. The room was tiny, and the bathroom in this non-smoking room reeked of smoke. All of this i could forgive becayse it was one night and i wasn't spending much time in the room. The next morning i woke up with over 100 bed bug bites. They found the bugs after i left and say they have corrected the problem, but you dont get 100 bed bug bites unless its ben a problem for a very long time. It is one month later and I still have people asking me what all those red dots are on my arms.
