ChinaTown Hotel SRO LTD

great value

Most other hotels at this price in Chicago are rather seedy. This hotel offers clean rooms, conveniently located. Great place just to crash; however do not plan a romantic night in here. Perfect if you're going out most of the night and just need a clean bed and clean bathroom.

fine hotel in good location

Good location, safe area, great food next door and convenient location to downtown. No parking lot but managed to find parking on the street. Room sparse and minimal but fine, especially if you just need somewhere to crash. Very minimal amenities provided but again there was nothing that was really missing either.

Great room for the money

Great location, safe neighborhood, friendly staff, clean room... what else more could you want if you're just looking for a place to crash?

For Its Location

Room was questionably clean but minimally acceptable because of it location and comparative cost. Nice staff, no frills, little to no up-keep or cleaning beyond bare minimum to turn over room. I’d say you get what you pay for; but, except in comparison to the alternatives (which are much less conveniently located) you don’t get much.

what you pay for...

very close to transit, great chinatown location - have stayed there one other time and went back, but it was somewhat disappointing. You get what you pay for.

Works for the price

Definitely not the Ritz Carlton, but it is like half the price of any other Hotels.com listed hotel in downtown Chicago and for the price it's a pretty decent hotel. Staff was friendly and the place was safe and clean. I was only there a night but I ate a great Chinese place that wasn't but a stone's throw away. My only real complaint is that the listing says guest parking available, which I guess is technically correct if you count the street. However this is downtown Chicago so finding street parking is akin to winning the lottery, which oddly enough I managed to do.

Great for the price

The staff was courteous, and the bathroom and bed was clean. It wasn't the swankiest and the rug could have used a good cleaning and the walls could have been repainted, but for the money, i was expecting worse. I would stay here again. Great food in chinatown nearby too.

Ok room and service for the money, convenient location

Staff were friendly. Location for great due to proximity to McCormick Place. No 21 bus takes you there within 5 minutes. Also Red line station is within a block, and you can reach downtown Chicago within 10 minutes. Room was very basic and small but clean. About 10 English language, 2-3 Chinese and 2-3 Latino channels on TV. Carpets in the corridors and in the room needs changing.

"Great room for the money"

extra convenient to transportation, McCormick Center, and local Chinese restaurants/ bakeries (for morning dim sum or evening meals). Excellent local color experience. Rugs a little musty; bathrooms clean; clean linen; courteous staff; sufficiently high-speed internet access included. No elevator access, but expected. Unique metal key doorlock to room.

A great place to stay.

Small Rooms, Small price. If you do not need a large room with TVs, furniture and elbow room, this is the place.

Not bad but not necessarily clean

My room clearly had not been cleaned when i first arrived. That kind of grossed me out at first. Also, the furniture and fixtures were in bad shape. The room was very small but I expected that and it didn't bother me much as I did not spend much time there. I guess it is a good place if you are on a budget but if you are into cleanliness you might want to spend some more money instead. The location is also very convenient to the transport system and the city center which I appreciated as that is where I spent my time in Chicago.

great for the budget traveller

This was a good hotel for the price. My four day stay was around $400 including parking which was about half the price of the downtown hotels. Great location in charming Chinatown about a mile and a half from downtown. You don't need a car; the red line CTA station is a block from the hotel. Great authentic Chinese restaurants and shops in a totally safe area with lots of families walking around. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was tiny but clean. The accomodations were spartan but you're not paying for luxury. My only problem was my cell phone signal was very weak. I had trouble using it from my room. My laptop worked fine with their wireless internet. Overall worth the money.

Great for young people who want to be close to downtown

This hotel was absolutely fine. It met all basic requirements for people who don't want to spend a lot but want to be close to downtown. Although the staff was difficult to understand, they were extremely helpful. When we asked about parking, the man at the front desk told us we could take his spot on the street (free parking right in front of the door) when he ended his shift in 20 minutes. If you are looking for luxury, this is not the place to go. If you don't plan on spending too much time in the hotel and want a convenient location, I recommend this place.
