Pros: This place is pretty much what we expected and paid for...a clean, reasonably comfortable, economical place to stay within easy walking distance of many of the things we wished to see. And parking is free. (though not guaranteed) This is not the Hilton or even The Holiday Inn. If you want those, pay for them, they can be very nice. The people working at the hotel were polite and helpful.

Pros: This hotel is in the thick of downtown. Free parking but you need to get there early in the afternoon. Rooms were good although you can't control the temperature of the room. I would stay there again.

Pros: The hotel accommodations are decent (tv but cable wasn't working, wifi, small fridge/freezer combo, small bathroom with shower tub) but centrally located with about 30 free (first come, first served) parking spaces. Great if you want to do a lot of exploring and not looking to spend much time in your room.

4,8 Okay
Pros: It was reasonably priced and in a good location.
Cons: We booked two beds because we had 3 adults staying in the room. Once we got there they only had one queen bed available, which is WAY to small for 3 adults to sleep comfortably, they didn't have roll away beds, so one of use had to sleep on the FLOOR in a hotel that we paid for! We paid money to SLEEP ON THE FLOOR! The front desk person couldn't have cared less about this inconvenience, disinterested and unapologetic.

Cons: It might be interesting if the furnishings has more of an MCM feel to match the sign and exterior archetecture but that would probably raise the prices...so nevermind.

Pros: Was visiting Chicago and really only needed a place to sleep and shower. Stayed for 5 days and 4 nights. The hotel was much better then I initially thought it was going to be. Comfortable bed and a good size room for two people. The shower was huge which was nice. There was a decent sized tv with cable for at night when we returned to the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel to someone that was more about being out and about during the day and relaxing to watch tv and sleep at night.
Okay

Pros: the only good thing about this hotel is the location. It's the closest hotel I could get to the downtown Chicago area without it costing $200+. If you're looking for anything other than that (clean towels, good service, comfortable bed, etc) you're not going to be happy.

I would highly recommend this hotel to someone that was more about being out and about during the day and relaxing to watch tv and sleep at night.
Cons: One of the downsides to the hotel is there was no refrigerator. Also the parking lot was a very tight squeeze so I would suggest backing in to the parking lot right when you get there if you are going to be using the buses and trains.

Cons: Everything but the location. Guy checking people in was rude, room was dirty, toilet had spent toilet paper and what looked like a cigarette pack wrapper in it when we came in. Just generally looked run down and dirty. Served its purpose, but wouldn't go back.

Pros: The location and convenience
Cons: One available power outlet if you need there alarm clock,very limited tv channels,small bathroom,very tight parking on one side.
3,0 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: Not a great experience. The night manager had difficultly locating my reservation at check in. I showed him my confirmation on my phone but was still treated like the error was my fault. I was tired and didn't want to argue so just took my key and headed to my room. This would have been the end but "my room" was apparently also someone else's room. This turned out to be to second time that evening that the "night manager" checked someone else into that already occupied room. When I returned to the office, along with the other guy, things we not handled well. We were told it wasn't his fault, it was the computer. He yelled at us and told us is it was no big deal, it happens all the time. Very unprofessional. Not a good experience at this hotel.
