My husband and I stayed here with 2 of our friends on a whim the night we went to a concert at the Metro. It was pretty close and we needed a place to stay. I am so happy we stumbled upon this hotel. Our room had two queen beds, but a hallway separated the beds so it was like having 2 rooms. It was great for saving money, but yet providing a little privacy being in the same room with the other couple. The front desk staff was friendly, our room and bathroom were huge and there was a really nice contintental breakfast in the morning. It's a little hard to find, we drove past it about 3 times, so keep your eyes peeled. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back if we're ever in the area and need to spend the night and have the money. It is a bit pricey for an unplanned night's stay.

Hanging out in the Halsted Area, North of Chicago? This would be one of the most convienent, places to stay in that area.

The City Suites is so accessable from Midway or O'hare airports via train service at the Belmont stop and all you have to do is just step off the train and literally less than 100 steps, there you are. The hotel has a quiet small lobby but seemed very clean and check-in was easy.

Take the stairs if you are claustophobic for the limit of 3 people on the small elevator would make even the bravest a little timid. Nice decor throughout the lobby and hallways as well as very nice appointments in the rooms of this all suite hotel.

Fluffy pillows on the bed, flat panel televeisions, nicely tiled bathroom, pretty spacious room for 3 adults rooming together. They even supply you with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion in the bathroom along with robes that you can purchase if you like, after your stay. Iron and a small Ironing board were provided, even a fridge for keeping beverages or food. Contential breakfast was served in the morning and I did hear of a reception in the afternoon/evening that I didn't partake in.

The hotel is located near all the bars, shopping and restaurants that wonderful North Chicago has to offer and the vibrant, colorful North Halsted area is always something to see reguardless of race, culture, creed or sexuality.

This hotel is a hidden gem!

City Suites is conveniently located next to the Belmont red line, so if you're travelling on leisure, transportation is not a problem (plus, Chicago has a great transportation system). The hotel was nice and clean, and the morning breakfast was decent. We were also greeted by friendly staffs in the hotel.

The room we were in had 2 queen sized beds with nice fluffy pillows, perfect for the 3 of us. There were also 2 TVs in the room with ample TV programs every night.

Overall, a great experience at this hotel, and I would highly recommend it to travellers, be it business or leisure.

We're Chicago natives who were in town to visit colleges with our son. Usually when we visit the city (at least a couple times/year) we stay in the Loop or off the Mag Mile because we're going to plays, museums, etc. We've been looking for a place to stay further North in our old 'stomping grounds' and we're so glad we found City Suites!

If you're not a seasoned traveler and have trouble figuring out how to navigate in a city, or how to recognize what's dodgy and what's not, you might have issues staying here. The Belmont neighborhood is diverse, eclectic and vibrant - and can be a little kooky, too. We never felt unsafe but we're familiar with the area. You're not in Kansas anymore, but thank the gods for that. We walk everywhere and allowed our 17-year-old son his freedom to do so, too - he's familiar with the city's street grid and public transit system. There's so much to do and see and the el is there to take you anywhere you want to go.

Yes, the rooms are smallish (except for the Executive Suites to which which we were very kindly upgraded, giving us and our sometimes-surly teen some trip-saving space) and the elevator is tiny but it's a 1930's era building after all. It's reminiscent of European hotels. If your rooms are on the west/el train side of the building you will hear the trains and door chimes/announcements. Yes, sometimes you will hear street noise, too, especially over weekends. But this is just the city -it's hard for me to understand why people would choose to stay in a vibrant neighborhood hotel and then complain about the vibrant neighborhood.

We found the hotel staff to be incredibly responsive, friendly and attentive. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable, as was the lobby. The breakfast is great and you can get coffee and tea throughout the day, plus cookies in the afternoon, which is a great respite from all your walking around and exploring. The parking is quite reasonable for hotel/city parking and a godsend because street parking is impossible in Chicago (and you'd better believe those Lincoln towing signs).

We will certainly be back. As mentioned, we just wish we'd found City Suites sooner. Thanks to the City Suites staff for making our stay so fun and memorable. =)
