Convenient, affordable, friendly

The hotel isn't fancy, but has some nice historic touches like the old-fashioned operator-run elevator. The employees were polite and service was speedy. You do need to call the front desk for anything extra (including the hair dryer). The 2 bed room was extremely large, I was surprised, and the kitchenette was a nice bonus. Convenience is key here, you're right in the loop and close to everything. Two restaurants are at the bottom of the hotel, which was nice.

Good for Concerts

If your not looking to Stay in a super nice, high quality hotel, then this is what you want. Good for concerts and things of that nature.

Convenient and inexpensive

I booked this hotel via hotels.com for my stay for a convention. The hotel was very basic but I did not need any amenities. The service was good, the room clean, the staff was friendly, and the neighborhood was safe. I would recommend this hotel for those on a budget who are doing business in Chicago. If you require a fitness center, room service, and other amenities then this is not the place for you. You are very close to the museums, convention center, and Grant Park.

Flea infested

I stayed at this hotel this past weekend, and now that I've arrived home, I discovered that I brought a few friends with me. Fleas have been biting me for 2 days, and they are a huge pain to get rid of. One night, I also woke up to find a roach crawling over my arm - thankfully I am not afraid of bugs. I would not stay in this hotel again.

1 night too long

So I purchased the 'Travelodge' for the convenience to Grant Park for the Chicago Marathon. IT did deliver on that, but I soon realized I would be have a small taste of Europe as well as the great location. Other runners from around the world stayed with me on the floor and hotel. But let me say, the Europeans were the best part of the European atmosphere. The fact the room was the size of a walk in closet, a full bed to pass as a queen, with barely enough room to walk around the edges, might have made them feel at home, but made me feel like I was in a hostel and worried of bed-bugs. Shall I mention a radiator and window unit for AC and heat - the suttle loud clang of the pipes from others rooms running through the room - the musky sent of stale beddings - etc. etc.? I guess my previous stays in Chicago spoiled me, but I thought for the same price I paid for the Hampton previously the location surely would make up for the brand name. Wrong. The next night, I received 20 x more comfort and better bedding and everything else involved for $10 less at the Hampton I had stayed in previously.

Great Downtown Location for the Right Price

Fine stay for the money

Great location, needs improvement

I guess my room was a Goldilocks "themed" room, since my friend's bed was cushy and soft and mine was hard as a rock.

Decent place to stay for a short visit.

The hotel was centrally located for what I needed. Had trouble sleeping at first due to "L" train route nearby and rumbling through day and night.

Perfect base for visiting all parts of Chicago

The hotel was in the right area and at the right price. Nothing complex about it at all. 3 minute walk to red line and it was in a nice area.

Great room for the money

The view from the room we had was great,looking over the downtown Chicago skyline. The window could have been a little bigger, but was sufficient. The 12th floor where we were located was very quiet. Elevators were a little slow, but considering the age of this building (the old Harrison Hotel) higher speed was not expected. The bathroom was extremely clean. The Chicago Carryout food place next to the lobby had great food and really pleasant service. Buckingham Fountain (a beautiful place in Grant Park) is only a safe 3 block walk away, The Art Museum is only about 4 blocks away. The front desk was a little slow, but not to the pount of being annoying. A great place to stay for the money.
