Front desk was not always friendly or quick to respond when we walked up for help. WiFi worked some of the time. Our room was very outdated and slightly dirty with very outdated furniture and one very thin blanket. The location was great being in Chinatown and it felt safe overall. Definitely a cheaper option than other hotels located near downtown Chicago but nothing special. The front desk did allow us to check in 40 min early which was nice!

You get what you pay for, if you just want a place to shower and sleep at night this is it. This is obviously not a 5star hotel but it’s in the center of China town which makes it a prime location. Bring your own soap/body wash/ shampoo our room did not have any. Besides that it was okay. 3/5

One night enough.

I had sheets on the hallway close to my door from check in to the next morning that I left. They had added a fresh coat of paint on the hallway, the smell was horrible. You would expect the sockets by the bed close, this was not the case, I had to get up from the bed to plug my charger and switch the room light on or off.

Cumple con tener un lugar para dormir y ya, el staff es amable y eso hace una experiencia agradable el check in y el check out pero no hay elevador y las escaleras son muy estrechas, la vista de las habitaciones es bastante terrible y las instalaciones no están en muy buen estado. La ubicación es lo bueno de este hotel.

Fine

It’s fine service and quality with the price in Chicago. Staff tried to clean the stairs and public area as they can but sometimes other customers dropped their food on the stairs. Others’ doors and the fire department nearby were little noisy at night but might not be a regular issue (unsure if it’s because I travel over the weekend). One of the pillows was not clean but the pillow case was ok. Positive things about it would be the food options around are pretty nice, many shops, close to the train, and a walkable distance to a nice park.

The hotel was great value and near to the Cermak subway station (walkable), in Chinatown. There are lots of eateries and various gift shops and supermarkets nearby too. The hotel is dated, despite signs everywhere that stated the fine for smoking and local bylaws, the hotel and our room stank of cigarettes. The room was basic but the bathroom was spacious and clean. The receptionist lent us a plug so that we could charge our phones, as we'd hoped they might have USB charging points, we were advised that this was an old hotel and didn't have such things. For a base to explore other parts of Chicago, this is a great value hotel but you get what you pay for and whilst the bedding was clean, the bathroom clean (with some free toiletries) it did feel grubbier, with the strong smell of stale cigarette smoke. However,the hotel met our needs for the 1 night that we stayed

When we checked in, we were told that we are on the 3rd foor. Problem was, no elevator. I nor my sister could keep going up and down the stairs. The good thing was that the front desk person went out of his way to put us in a 1st floor room after the 1st night.

Save yourself the trouble and just pay the extra money for a better hotel, this place is so incredibly shabby and run down. Looks like it was last cleaned in 1947.

Great location near CTA Red Line station. Fun neighborhood. Could use some sprucing up, lots of peeling paint. Great deal for being so close to downtown and McCormick Place. No amenities, but there are properties going for 3-4 times the daily rate if that's important for your stay.

It’s one of those hotels where you can’t be mad at the quality because of the price. It’s in a good location for a good price, so I can’t complain too much. Cleanliness would probably be my biggest complaint as every aspect of the hotel room was dirty or old. The sheets were extremely dirty and old, and the door was busted up in quite a few different ways.

We stayed at this hotel -- and I use that term so very loosely -- because other hotels that we usually stay at were going for $750 a night or more. "How bad could it be?" we asked. Reader, be prepared to reevaluate all of your life choices if you decide to book a room here. First, it's a four-floor walk-up, with uneven, narrow stairways. Our room had a rickety bed with a small blanket that didn't remotely cover my 6-foot husband. There was a chair, table and tiny TV crowded up against it. Stains all over the walls and the drape that covered our one, cracked window overlooking a depressing alley. We checked for bedbugs and surprisingly found none. In the bathroom, there was a tiny round toilet, a shower that only spat out water unwillingly, and a single used bandaid on the floor. Enjoy using your hand towel as a washcloth, because that's as close as you get. Want coffee? There's some Folgers' crystals and a hot-water option on the fountain in the "kitchen" area, which at times even has water available. There are abundant signs warning you not to steal food out of the single refrigerator. And still more signs telling you that you are being surveilled. Don't worry about the housekeeping staff damaging any of your belongings -- our room wasn't touched during our three-night stay. China town itself is amazing. You will be tempted to ignore your gut and stay at this hotel, which passed "shabby" about 20 years ago. Reconsider. We cheaped out, and we paid the price.

Oh my goodness what a dump!! The air conditioner didn't work right, water barely worked in the shower, No elevator and our room was on the third floor. Our view from our window was a dirty alleyway with garbage all over. We only went there to sleep since we were at a concert, but the bed was so horrible we never slept ! What a nightmare!
