this is a good hotel to stay. If you want to stay at a clean hotel with decent service, maybe this is not. Please beware. The WiFi signal is weak and the network is not encrypted. The location is best: near metro station, bus station, McCormick Place, etc. And one more: Check-in starts from 3pm, so please don't go there before 3pm.

Read the reviews! Believe all of the negative comments! A friend needed to stay here as someone else booked it for her & we joined in. Mistake. Unsafe neighborhood, dumpy, dirty, broken, no free parking as told. If I could get my money back I would. If we could have made other arrangements when we arrived, I would have done that. Even for this price, […] it was unacceptable. Read more

While in a fantastic, vibrant neighborhood close to the El train downtown, numerous things were falling apart. There was painting equipment strewn about the hallway. The front doorknob to the room was at an odd angle, the bathroom doorknob was loose, and the toilet flush handle came off in my hand. If I was not there for only one night, I would have […] switched hotels for the rest of my stay. Read more

Great location and price for what we wanted, hotel is not the Hilton, but we had clean sheets and hot water. And it is IN China town.

What can I not say about this hotel? Check in was easy. No elevator, if you have knee or back problems, don't stay here! If you are just looking for a place to sleep or shower this is a nice cheap option. The noise level is much lower than downtown. Surrounding area (Chinatown) has some amazing restaurants and boutiques. Very easy to navigate throughout […] the city via red line or CTA buses. Good luck getting a cabby to find it, you'll end up a street over at the firestation. You can tell they do their basic cleaning of linens, however they don't go much beyond that, I found a beer bottle and caps under the bed. Read more

This is a very inexpensive hotel. That should be at the forefront of everybody's mind when they consider staying here. This is not the Drake. This is not the Palmer House. But, this is a great hotel. I was in town for a conference at McCormick Place and could not have asked for a better location. Chinatown is amazing, tons of great restaurants and bakeries. […] Easy (and totally safe!) walk between McCormick Place and the Chinatown Hotel. Very near the el. The rooms are small, the amenities are minimal, but the staff is very friendly and gracious, the hotel is clean, and the rooms get the job done. I would plan to stay here nearly every single time I'm in Chicago. Read more

The hotel is not new but is clean and adequate for a place to stay. Was attending a convention near the lake and found the location to be about a 15 minute walking distance. Also the commuter rail was only about a five minute walk. The hotel staff was courteous and helpful.

This hotel is regularly cleaned to a low standard of cleanliness. There is a community refrigerator on the 1st floor (write name and room number on your food), a microwave, a table and some chairs, and a pop machine. The desk is small and a footstool serves as a desk chair. There was very little room to actually sit at the desk to do any work. Sheets, […] spreads, and towels all seemed clean enough, if well-used over the years. Read more

The staff was made up of a very nice family and the hotel stay was ok. When I booked this reservation I was told that there was parking. When I got there there was no parking. They said i could park at a self pay parking a few blocks away. There was no elevator to go to the rooms. You were not able to regulate the room temperature. The television only […] had one channel. Room didn't have a tub, when I asked if I could be moved to a room with a tub they said that there was only one room with a tub and it was the luxury suite. This meant it was more expensive and it was booked. I asked for another pillow and was told they had no more pillows or blankets. The best part of staying here was that it was in China Town so we found a great place to have dinner. Read more

A piece of crap hotel, would never stay here again

Genuine Expedia guest review

Not very clean, very noisy, broken bottles on street. Low rates means this is expected. The surrounding shops and resturants very interesting, no problems with the locals, even at breakfast at a nearby shop. Also no free parking.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

You get what you pay for. Easily the cheapest option downtown, and it's surrounded by good food, and 5 minute walk to the red line. Would recommend bringing bedsheets and towels if possible.

the hotel is in desparate need of remodeling , there were only two channels, one in chinese, and one of the blankets had hair on it! Just because its a budget hotel doesn't mean they have to be cheap!

Genuine Expedia guest review

I didn't like it at all. The room was tiny and very dirty. The bed was horrible, and I could hear all the outside noices. It wasn't worth the money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was the worst hotel in my life. I dont know how they are able to stay open. I guess u get what u pay for ..

Genuine Expedia guest review

I had a good experience with this hotel. It is what it is, so do not expect a 5-star resort. I didn't read all of the reviews, but you should know: THERE ARE NO ELEVATORS. I stayed on the 2nd floor, and there were about 12 small steps up. Yes, I drug my 50lb bag, and carry-on bag up the stairs. Be prepared for this. ALSO - there are a few steps DOWN […] to the check in desk. LOCATION IS GOOD! Very close to a train station. Can easily get to hotel from either O'Hare or Midway airports. I purchased a $23 7-day pass and used it constantly. Chicago's public transportation is reliable and safe. Study train map before your trip! THE ROOM ITSELF - looked a little dingy, but at least HOUSEKEEPING came DAILY. NO CABLE on the TV - I only got CBS as the only English station with a good signal. THE ROOM KEY resembled a military dog tag - not a regular metal key or a plastic card. THE TRICK TO OPENING the door is to insert the "key" facing away from you, leaving it in the door knob, THEN turning the door knob. After opening the door, remove the "key." WALLS ARE THIN - I think I heard a guy snoring one night, but it was really quiet in my room. I would stay here again - at least I know what to expect now. Have a nice trip! Read more

Room was very dirty, smell of mold and stinky. holes in the towel, no dryer, blanket was not clean.. it was the worst condition ever. Better to spend more money for somewhere elese.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

price was right. met our needs. surrounding area great. proximity to red line exceptional.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

1970s decor (really) threadbare carpets, and rooms so small you cannot swing a cat in them it is however super cheap, bed is comfortable and it is quiet. It is bang smack in the middle of Chinatown, which just added to the hotel's appeal. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Do not book this hotel. Yes it's the only hotel right in China town. That's about it.Dirty dirty dirty,the carpet was black and musty, the bathroom had mold. The Tv Had only one station- come on...my hubby whom is Chinese said its the worse hotel he ever stayed in.

it is not clean, the equipment is very old and the room is smelling

Genuine Expedia guest review

REALLY loved the location. Even though the transit system frequently gets shady passengers, I still believe it's a great way to get around an urban area. The hotel was not too far at all from the downtown area. Just a few stops. The area where you will want to park is a couple of blocks away from the hotel and right next to it is the subway! Parking […] overnight will set you back $14/day. Luckily we had cash because the "machine was broken" when we were ready to head out. I love Chinese food so I was quite happy with the selection. Dim sum for breakfast? Heck yeah. It's right across the street. Triple Crown restaurant is great. Something for the chilly night? Highly recommend pho but unfortunately didn't get around to finding a good authentic store. Also love the cheap souvenirs in the Chinatown area. Now for the bad news. The hotel is TERRIBLE. The twin beds were tiny as heck. There was constantly a puddle next to the toilet in the bathroom. It was worse after you've used the sink a few times. The was a coffeepot on the desk but no coffee provided. The heater didn't work at all. They gave you some weird key to use for the door...just ONE and it's $25 if you lose it. Really HATED the towels. It was like rubbing sandpaper on myself. Might be ok for overnight stay but 2 days was too long there. Read more

felt unsecure with flimsy door latch. bad matress, felt springs. coffee maker provided but no coffee or mugs. tv smaller than my laptop screen. staff limited english skills. insects visible inside.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

CONS: The hotel is missing the basics: clean rooms, clean bedding, clean towels, clean corridors and stairwells, soundproofing. The neighborhood is shoddy and told by friends not safe to be out at night on your own. PROS: Staff was pleasant, Conveniently located next to RED LINE and bus service

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Without doubt the very worst hotel I have ever stayed at in 30 years of business travel. The room was disgusting, damp, dirty, and wet. The location is very rough, filthy streets and univiting residents. In all, this was a hotel from hell.

Genuine Expedia guest review

No elevator. Coffee makers, but no coffee. Many things broken in rooms. Was still soap in shower from previous stay. All I can say is that it was close to my destination. The staff was friendly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Where it is great but it is way old and beat up and the smell and just stairs.. Give you a coffee maker NO coffee

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel itself was... passable. The rooms aren't amazing, the TV didn't work, but the bed was comfortable enough, and the air conditioning worked (sometimes if too well!). All in all, not amazing, but not bad.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

to small for the price with no parking close .

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Really good location, not far from downtown and Union Park (about an hour walk). Customer service was very friendly and helpful. Busy streets during the day with lots of shops and tiny restaurants, but at night not very safe outside. Vagrants sometimes in groups of 2 or 3 were wondering around outside asking for money. They were very persistent and […] would follow and hassle you. Not safe at night. But total fine while still daylight. Room was okay, small and a little dingy, but not bad. It was the best deal we could find, that is, a room that costs less than our monthly mortgage payment. Read more

It is, admittedly, pretty run-down. The stairs are narrow, the carpet is threadbare. The hand-held shower-head didn't fit into the clamp, so I couldn't just stand there and have it pour on me. The desk in my room was so close to the door it partially blocked it. But the staff was pleasant, and answered my questions, there was no confusion over my room, […] and the room was clean and tidy. There was free, working WiFi internet access, and a lounge room with fridge, sink, and microwave. I have paid more for less. If I also include the location (two blocks from the Red Line, just two stops from The Loop) and the price (less than half of what I would have paid *anywhere* else with a similar location), then my overall rating is "Fabulous!"
