My husband and our 2 children spent a night here last week so we could get an early start at the Shedd Aquarium the next day. Although the rooms (we were in B1) were very small, they were very well arranged. The rooms were very clean except if you move furniture (dropped an earring) and then you might see something yellow on the wall (ewww) but who normally goes back there anyway? The water pressure was outstanding! The location was incredible - very convenient to so much really. Portillo's, Art Institute, Shedd, museums, Rock n Roll McDonalds, etc. The only issues we had were that the heater in the room was very very noisy (loud CLACK) every 30 minutes it kept the room comfortable on quite a cold night and heated up in minutes after our arrival. The front desk staff was professional and courteous. The night watchman was a little creepy. Free parking, which is a HUGE bonus in Chicago. They also had a really cute little diner attached which we didn't eat at but I'd like to try at our next stay maybe. I would describe it as "no frills but perfectly acceptable", although they DID have a blowdryer, an iron, a fridge, a coffee maker, a TV, an alarm clock, a phone, a table, little shampoos, conditioners, soaps, generous number of towels, so yeah - maybe the frills were there afterall.

I stayed in this hotel the first week of Nov at a historic time for Chicago as a stranger in town I was suprised by the quality of the hotel, having read the reviews, I expected a drug dealer to be found dead in my bath tube, but no
The staff were very friendly the room was clean and the bed was large and the price was reasonable, and I must give some praise to the staff in the restaurant out front, the food was great especially the fetta omlette

I booked 1 night before for under 90$
it was good for the price and location. It is a short bus ride down La Salle into the Loop. The area just next to the hotel isnt the best but I still felt safe. Staff was nice and held my bags while I was in the city. Little noisy in the morning with doors closing and house keeping cleaning in the hall. Also trash pick up must be close because I heard it in the morning, If you are not a sound sleeper, it may be annoying. overall, its a good hotel, maybe should be called a motel.

The Staff was very cordial, that is where it ended.
I have never stayed in a hotel that was as ill kept, run down and generally worn out as this one. If we had found another room anywhere in downtown, we would have left. Unfortunately, the town was completely booked.

My daughter and grandaughter were bitten by bugs as they slept, The matresses were worn out, wallpaper peeling in the bathroom, carpets in the hallway and room were stained and worn....

I don't understand how you could have your name on the outside of the building? I have come to expect at least a moderately standard of cleanliness and upkeep...this location makes Motel 6 look like a palace.
