Trip Type: Special Event Review 1 of 30Nasty Hotel
This hotel was very stinky and the walls are paper thin.

Trip Type: Not Provided Review 2 of 30Great deal for the location
After reading the reviews I set the bar pretty low. My desire was for the price and location. The room was nothing to brag about, but the location was great! The price was also a bonus compared to other hotels. I highly reccomend this hotel if you are using it just for a place to sleep. No frills or creature comforts but great for getting around the city.

Trip Type: Special Event Review 3 of 30Needs a Lot of Help
I had never stayed at a HOJO's before and am not sure I will again if this is any indication of what I can expect. I don't mind staying in hotels with limited amenities or even a place where the fixtures are older. What I do mind is a room that is filthy and a bed that was unbelievably lumpy and hard. The grout in the bathroom was filled with dirt, the wallpaper and paint was peeling and the sink was cracked everywhere. The staff at the desk was helpful but couldn't accomodate a simple request to change from traveling clothes to wedding clothes in "any" room and sent us to a lounge restroom with ho air in the middle of the summer. We were suprised at the condition of this hotel in downtown Chicago

The room smelled like urine. A/C didn't work properly. Would never stay again. Very very disappointed.

Trip Type: Not Provided Review 10 of 30Yucky bathroom
The toilet was only about 2 inches from the sink cabinet, which meant that when I sat on it, my body touched the sink cabinet. I found this to be disgusting. I am not larger than the average American. I also noticed mold on the air conditioning unit and in the bathroom. The location was reasonably convienient to all of the things that we wanted to do.

The only good thing about the HoJo on LaSalle is the awesome location and the diner onsite. Free parking is also a great plus, as most downtown hotels charge exhorbitant fees for parking. Howerver, the hotel itself is in deplorable condition. The beds are terrible, the bathrooms outdated, the carpets are nasty, and I haven't been in a room yet that doesn't smell funky (and we stay there 2-3 times a year). The cost is terrible, but the location is the best-2 blocks from the red line to Wrigley Field. Excellent restaurants nearby. Overall, they need to charge substantialy less than they do.
