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!
