My boyfriend and I just returned from our weekend at the Write Inn. We were hoping for a hotel downtown Chicago but everything was booked or extremely expensive. We found the best prices on expedia.com We took the Amtrak train there from our hometown so didn't have to worry about parking a car (since I read on here it was... more

The hotel had an old time feel to it but the rooms were comfortable, quiet, well furnished and very clean. I clean for a living so I have a fine eye for an unkempt room. The location of the hotel is excellent for those using public transportation. Only two and a half blocks from the Oak Pk. Ave Green line... more

I LOVED the location and the website pictures make you want to stay here. The employees we came in contact with were very nice. But, once you get past the beautiful lobby area, this place falls flat. Every floor seemed to smell and our room was even worse! The walls were stained yellow and the vent looked like it hadn't... more

You're hoping: Great Gatsby. You get: The Jungle. Write Inn is a bit run down at the heels (if I squint while looking at the pix on their website, my room looked a bit similar). Staff was young and often friendly. Breakfast was quaint with a Euro feel. Biggest problem was parking. 1. Public garage 300 yds away -- a... more

This is a charming hotel in a wonderful old residential neighborhood with a lot of Frank Lloyd Wright houses nearby, as well as Wright's Unity Temple. It's reasonably priced and conveniently located approximately 3 blocks from the el, which takes you into downtown Chicago in about 15 minutes. It is also in a neighborhood with interesting shops and restaurants. If... more

Excellent location, just 3-5 min walk to subway; and then 15-20 mins into the heart of Chicago. After reading some reviews I was prepared for the less than friendly front desk staff. They do their job ok, answer questions, and even gave me some change for the subway, but not with a smile. My room was a queen ensuite and... more

Wanted to check out the Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the area and this couldn't have been more convenient. Nice enough room with kitchenette. Maid service was very good (never interrupted us). Bathrooms need upgrading as counter was tile and wood with peeling paint and missing grout. Was willing to overlook, as they gave out lovely English soaps and shampoos!... more

My sister, niece, and I were in Chicago for vacation and stayed at The Wright Inn because we couldn't afford to stay downtown, and I wanted to see Frank Lloyd Wright's homes. Unlike some other reviewers, I found The Wright Inn to be a delightful old hotel with a lot of character, friendly and helpful staff, and nice amenities (jacuzzi... more

This hotel has the potential to be nice, but it is run SO poorly run right now, it's better to give it the skip. There was an unprofessional feel to pretty much everything done here. But the kicker was the parking. They have free parking, but its in a garage not owned by the hotel--about three blocks away. While at... more

The hotel was everything I thought a historic hotel should be. It had a beautiful lobby and resturant. There were also several historic features that added to the experience; like the elevator and the antiques in the rooms. The rooms were not exactly beautiful but very cute and had everything the a person might need, microwave,fridge,iron,hair dryer...etc. and the rate... more
