My girlfriend and I came up this last weekend for PRIDE. This hotel is above & beyond what I would, stereotypically, expect from a Days Inn. The location is perfect for PRIDE or a weekend in "Boystown". This hotel is very welcoming to LGBT travelers (as evidenced by an in-room informational sheet on the PRIDE parade - which by the way, goes right by the hotel!). Everyone from the valet folks, to the bellmen to the front desk personnel were VERY helpful(they even offered to call a local eatery, to see when they closed, for us). The $22/a day for valet parking is well worth it as street parking in the area is hard to come by. It also affords the option to come and go as you please, w/out additional fees. The continental breakfast is pretty good too! We will definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others!

This is a pretty good hotel, located close to buses and the metro. The rooms were decently-sized and had all the amenities we could need.

The negative sides:
-The computer is really restrictive, pop ups do not work for example. My boarding passes were in pop ups so I had to go to an internet cafe in order to be able to print them.
-Weak breakfast. Donuts for breakfast, seriously?
-Noisy, but we did have a room facing the main street.

But these are pretty minor points. I would stay again.

I stayed 4 nights beginning June 21. I arrived late at night and I was given a very small, nice, but very small room. I asked if I could be moved the next day, as I was staying for 4 nights. Neil was so nice and helpful and I was moved to a bigger room. Anthony was helpful too, as was everyone there. It was an easy ride downtown on the Broadway bus, and there are restaurants and a Borders very close to the hotel. You can use a gym that is just several doors away. There are bigger and smaller rooms, with different shapes and sizes, so it is nice if you can get a larger room. All rooms seemed clean and modern and with nice bedding and beds. I would stay again in a minute. Book as early as you can, as it fills up. Have a great stay.

This is not your typical Day's Inn. This is a completely renovated, modern older hotel in a great neighborhood. Found this is Hotwire for $53, cannot be beat in Chicago. Room was immaculately clean, beds very comfortable. Coffee, microwave and fridge in room. Free wireless internet with access code that they change every 2 days so you may have to get it updated. Free continental breakfast with fresh squeezed juice and the ladies work very hard to replenish. Staff very friendly and helpful. Always at least three employees at desk and lobby area and they usually hold the door! I highly recommend this hotel. You can't go wrong. L about 8 blocks, bus stops right at hotel.
