I don't typically write review on hotels since I do not spend a lot of time in my room. This one is an exception. The room is extremely small. Almost uncomfortable. You cannot walk to the door at the same time someone has the bathroom door open. It is tight! I do appreciate the location as it was a very... More

I'm giving the hotel 4 stars mostly for the location. Walking distance to everywhere! Rooms are small and have old tv which we didn't use, iron and ironing board, clothes rack, desk. Bathroom is small but clean and have basic toiletries (no toothbrush/toothpaste), hairdryer. There's also complimentary coffee, but there's a lavazza coffee downstairs and there's a donut place across... More

We stayed here for 4 nights. Check in staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately we were woken up at 8am every morning by the hoovering of the house keeping staff- not ideal whilst on vacation!! Hotel in great location and therefore very reasonably priced due to being right by the Magnificent Mile and all its... More

I recently had the mild displeasure of staying at the Inn of Chicago for a business trip and upon entering the lobby was greeted with the repetitive, tired, "modern", Crate & Barrel-inspired lobby I'm beginning to see more & more of. While better than most standard hotel lobbies, it seems that many hotels these days are adopting this type of... More

I used hotwire to book my stay. Hotel was listed as a 3 star property but I would have listed it as a 2 star. The location is great. The room was very outdated. The lobby is quite deceiving. It looks nice but the room I was placed in made me feel like I was a victim of a bait... More

Basic room, but very adequate and the location is fabulous! a great value in downtown Chicago. Free wifi in the lobby (you just have to login every 30 minutes, but otherwise no limits on ports etc.), the room wifi is fairly expensive and different tiers for different bandwidth so didn't try it. The room TV works and has many non-premium... More

The location can't be beat, just off upper Michigan Avenue. But this is an older property in need of a real renovation, and perhaps that - combined with small rooms - explains why prices here are so much lower than nearby hotels. When we pulled up in our car, the bellman was right there offering help with bags. (Self park... More
