Cute hotel in a convenient location. Very old building, which is fine, but the rooms could use some additional updates to be more stars. Keep the charm, update the rest. It’s doable.

The hotel is conveniently located near many fun attractions and appears to be in a relatively safe area. The staff was polite and courteous throughout my stay.

The room layout could have been better, and the hotel itself is dated. The air-conditioning units were also quite loud. My unit displayed an error while I was away, so I returned to an uncomfortably hot room. After resetting it, the room eventually cooled down again.

Overall, the location and friendly staff were the strongest parts of the stay, but the rooms and air-conditioning system could use some updates.

Room was very small compared to other travelodge hotels we booked in. Floor looked dirty with stains and we had to use slippers all the time.

All the towels we received smelled of vinegar and lint was flying all over. I do understand vinegar is being used on towels but they aren't rinsed well. Overall, the location is the only thing better for me as it is closed to transpo, parks, fastfood chains.

We stayed for 5 days and room was cleaned on day 3 and towels changed which still smelled of vinegar.

Not so good experience imo.

This was my second stay at a Wyndham and it was very different from my first. Once you leave the lobby everything is very old and dated. This room was clean and an adequate size but the bathroom was unusually small. Three are no modern usb sockets for charging so be sure to have a wall block for any cords.
The customer service was very nice
Very close to local bus lines.

I booked a room with a bedroom. When I check in I get this dinky little room from the 1940's. I go to the front desk and say this isnt the room I booked. I show them the picture of the room on the website where I booked the room and they tell me 'we don't have those types of rooms here'. It was 11pm. I stayed the night and cancelled the rest of my stay and booked another hotel.

The room that we got looked nothing like the photos on the website. The hotel looked like it might have been some sort of old school apartment building once: the hallways, the rooms, etc. all felt more like a cheap apartment building than a hotel.

The room was surprisingly large, which was probably the one good thing about it. However, the carpets looked old and dirty. The A/C unit in the window made a ton of noise (and there was an unpleasant musty moldy smell the entire stay). Our window looked right at the next building, and there was a fire escape right outside, which made my wife nervous. There were a few dead insects on the desk. The bathroom grout was dirty, and the shower head was barely held together by pipe tape. The \"kitchenette\" was barely big enough for someone to step into, so we just stored our luggage there. The beds were old and creaky.

We were pretty close to canceling our second stay during this trip and finding another hotel, but ultimately decided not to bother since we'd be spending most of our time outside of the hotel, anyway.

No amenities to speak of. No parking. Paid lot across the street is pricey and offers no in/out privileges. Used Spot Hero to find a spot under the L train tracks.

Do not stay in a room ending in \"28\". I imagine they'll be the same on every floor.

Positives I'll speak of: convenient location, near the water, convenient walk to touristy spots like the Bean, near train station, walkable to both famous touristy deep dish spots.

Attitudes of employees not pleasant or helpful. Lady next to me was locked out of her room with no one helping because the sensor on the doors are broken.

The staff was great, but the place was woefully understaffed. After 9pm, there's no more housecleaning and with only one person manning the front desk, if you need extra towels, you better be ready to get them from the lobby yourself.

The location was very convenient for public transportation, one small block from the Harrison Red Line (stairs only, unless we totally missed the escalator or elevator)

It's an older building. Our room looked very small when we first enter via the doorway because of an extremely narrow hallway that had the closet door (very tiny) as well as the bathroom.

Our bathroom would give them 1 star. The tub inner lining was buckling and bubbling from some kind of damage before we arrived and it would dangerously pop up and down under our feet as we showered. We made due, but it didn't help. We were also lucky we brought our own power strip and extension cord because we could only find one outlet.

Our room was eye-level to the Loop, but luckily we just imagined it was the roar of waves at a beach. It was just loud enough to be noticeable, but not too loud that it woke us up non-stop. The loop (I believe) runs 24/7, and irregular intervals. Just like waves on the beach.

For the price we paid, I really was hoping for more, but I guess prices are up everywhere. Travel tip: even with just 5 days, getting the 7-day $20 unlimited pass on the L was a huge bargain. We did most of our activities with only a 1mile (20 minute) hike at any point.

Our last night there the fire alarm went off at 3:30 am. We ,two old ladies, and the couple with a kid went down 12 flights of stairs. The front desk clerk at that time didn’t seem concerned. After us sitting down stairs for at least 20 minutes he asked what we all were sitting there waiting for. We said the fire alarm, he left for about five minutes and said there was no fire alarm. Very disappointing in the no concern.

I did not expect the regular, loud train going outside the window. That was very difficult to deal with but thankfully I had earplugs. The room itself had a useful kitchenette but the decor and structure felt very dated and worn. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the lobby is nice. The hotel is perfectly placed near both high end and fast food places. I stayed for four nights by myself and would definitely stay there again with my family or friends for a great trip to Chicago. Fun and exciting city!

Frustrating check in experience whereby the staff advised when we arrived that our room was ready but we’d have to pay a $25 early check in fee if we wanted to get in before check in time, it was 3:15pm with check in at 4pm, this is incredibly petty. If I check out before check out time do they give a partial refund? Of course not.
I then had to use their luggage storage facility which operates on a tip basis, so effectively had to pay to store luggage which is a basic service I expect to be free of charge for guest in a hotel.

Room was dated and had a musty smell and we had no hot water.
I told the reception after the first night and they said there is a known issue with the room we were in and they got water rarely works. Why are they renting out a room with a known issue with the hot water?

The rooms also do not come with a microwave or a mini fridge. The ac in our room only worked if it was on full blast. The room is nothing special but will do if your there for a few nights.

For travelers looking for a cheaper option near the Loop, it's difficult to beat. A half block off Michigan Avenue and the adjacent Grant Park, the hotel is older and no-frills (it even has window air-conditioners) but it is clean, quiet and comfortable, and the front desk is helpful. If all you're looking for is a shower and good night's sleep, and don't mind walking a few extra blocks to access downtown, it's a great deal.
