I hadn't stayed at the Inn of Chicago for years, and after reading some of the negative comments was a little reluctant. Glad I booked it. The front desk was extremely friendly. Surprisingly, the manager came out to greet me, welcomed me to the hotel, and told me not to hesitate to contact him if he could do anything to make my stay more enjoyable. Room was roomy and clean. The only negative was that the mattress was so soft we kept feeling like we were rolling to the center of the bed. The hotel is a great location and well maintained. We'll definately stay here next time we visit Chicago and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.

Wow - the folks out there had me so scared about this hotel that I tried to change hotels an hour before my plane left for my business trip to Chicago.

What was all the huffing and puffing about? Hands down, this hotel is in an amazing location.

Staff was friendly an accomodating. I asked for a room upgrade and got the Junior Suite - a cute little "apartment" with a living room area, plasma tv, a wet bar, bathroom, and bedroom (bed was SUPER COZY).

The room was clean, and any request for additional toiletries was granted with a smile.

The only reason I would say that the room was a 4 was due to the lack of complimentary internet in the room.

The lobby has access to free Wi-Fi and is a cozy little hang out spot (I'm actually in the lobby area writing this review while I wait for my shuttle to the airport).

So - don't listen to the negative reviews. You're in a great location, fun hangout spots are at abundance, and they are quick to accomodate for upgrade requests.

We have stayed here for 3 nights. The location is great, very close to the Loop.

We stayed in a standard room but it was like compressed, the bath too. There was a door to another room I guess, luckily it was locked. The air conditioner was a little bit noisy and very old.

If you are not looking for luxury but a budget place close to the Loop, I recommend the Inn of Chicago, Magnificent Mile.

I stayed at this hotel from september 9 to 16. On my last night, while packing, I found that my iPod was missing. I went downstairs to report this at about 10 pm and I was asked to fill some papers with a guy that never identified himself beyond being a security guard and no copy of the forms were offered to me. At one time this security guy told me that he needed to file a police report and even when there was a phone on the desk he went to another office and made the call (so I was told). He promised to give me the number of the report but today, almost 4 weeks after the event I still don´t have it.

I left the next morning at 6 am so there was no more information about this issue the next day. I had to make no less than 8 calls from Mexico City in order to find out that maybe an answer was due for the following week. Another series of calls followed, all by myself, none by the hotel. Eventually they told me that the cleaning maid reported that se had never saw the iPod and that was it.

The hotel, I was informed, had no responsability at all for the goods of their guests. So, if you are planning to go there, keep in mind that you are on your own. I guess that this might be the case for a $20.00 per night place in some forgotten part of the country but surely is not to be expected for a respectable business hotel in Chicago Magnificent Mile.

Or maybe it has to be with the fact that I am not American and live in mexico. Trying to follow upo a claim like this is so frustrating and time consuming that in the end nothing happens at all.

In short, if you spend some nights there the advice is to carry with you all your valuables as they will be safer with you in the streets than in the room and the hotel takes no responsability.
