My friend and I visited Chicago in early April to see RENT. Unfortunately, we had booked a room at the Howard Johnson that was completely horrible and was able to find this hotel with an opening at the last minute! We were so grateful that they had a room for us. Paying $36/night for parking kinda hurt but the valet takes the car for you and they were very nice and accommodating. The room was small but clean and cozy. All of the staff was very friendly. We wanted to go to the Field Museum on our last day and checked out at 12pm but they still kept our bags and car until we were done at the museum free of charge! I would definately recommend this hotel for anyone. The price for the location and value was great!

Shower floor had thick shelack of filth and grime and god knows what else. Feet sticking to floor in shower!!! Thin throw blanket only on bed along with dirty bed spread. Hard to argue with price and location, but even a one night stay was unbearable. Lastly, were instructed the valet would need 20 minutes to get car - we waited an hour, a fitting end to our stay.

I am not a very picky person and that is especially so when you only pay $130 for a room in downtown Chicago-- you don't expect it to be fabulous, but you do expect it to be clean. The room was so small we could hardly get a round the beds and the decor looked like it hadn't been updated in 20 years. None of us would walk in the room without our shoes on because the carpet was so disgusting. I would compare it to a motel off the freeway in the middle of nowhere that you would pay $29.95/night or maybe pay for by the hour . We left and went across the street to the Marriott Courtyard. They said they routinely get customers like us. I will say the location is great and the staff was very nice and they took $40 off our bill without us really griping . Pay the extra bucks for somewhere decent.

Traveling with two teenage kids, we paid extra for the "deluxe suite." It was filthy. There were still crumbs on the floor and the bed sheets were NOT changed (there was someone else's hair in the bed already! How Gross!). The room smelled like dirty socks. The bathroom door was off the hinges. The bathroom had mold on the sink vanity. There were candy wrappers in the corners of the room. The TV remote did not work. The A/C rattled us out of the room. We ran out of this flea infested firetrap after staying one hour. We paid for -- and completely enjoyed -- the marriot courtyard direct across the street. This is the ONLY post I have ever made on this website.
