I stayed here 3 nights so I could be close to the hospital and was very pleased. It was convenient, comfortable, and fairly priced. My room was modern and extremely clean. I would definitely recommend it for business or pleasure. More

This hotel was awesome! The location was very convenient for me, as I was there for an interview at Northwestern. It's like a 1 min walk to the hospital. Also a very convenient 5 min walk to the Grand Red station, which is like 1 stop away from Jackson for transferring to/from the Blue Line. Staff was very helpful; they... More

The room was airy with high ceilings and comfortable beds outfitted with plenty of pillows! Breakfast options were extensive. When I returned each evening the room was in perfect order. I... More

Superb location, nice decor/lobby/front desk staff, $89 a night room. What's not to like? My only complaint was that the internet in my room was very, very slow, which made work difficult. I did not try the free breakfast, unfortunately, so I can't comment there. More

I travel all over the country. Out of all of the hotels to stay in chicago, i choose the fairfield inn downtown. Why would you want to stay anywhere else? The location alone is amazing. The price is reasonable. Forget all of that,...you have clean retro style rooms with LG big tv's! Staff is over the top with their welcome... More

The 151 bus runs from Union Station and the Loop to a bus stop a few blocks west of the hotel. The 151 runs north to Lincoln... More
