I visited Hotel Cass this past January with my fiance and we were extremely pleased. The entire staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The interior was nicely decorated and while the hotel itself is older and a little cramped, as are the majority of older hotels, Hotel Cass really utilized their space. Our room was wonderful, large... More

We arrived to Union Station via BNSF rail and took bus 151 to Michigan and Ontario. We made the short walk to the hotel. It was early, 10am, so we dropped our bag with the friendly bell staff (they also man the front door, greeting you) and headed out for the day. We got back at 130pm, well before the... More

We found this hotel for US$60 on Hotwire.com and were more than happy with what we got for the price. The room was clean and modern, the location was perfect and the breakfast - although simple - was a pleasant addition considering the price. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, even offering us umbrellas to cope with the... More

On the north end of downtown, this hotel offers the perfect location for dining and entertainment with out the hassle of transportation-everything is in walking distance! A variety of restaurants and clubs are all within several blocks. The museums, parks and river are all a short bus ride away-take the 151 to get downtown. Staff is knowledgeable about the CTA...

Average little hotel with lots of potential. Great location friendly desk clerks. There has been extensive remodeling. However there is no attention to detail. The management is really lacking here. Breakfast was not up to normal Hoilday Inn Epxress standards. Although there has been updating damaged furniture carpet etc needs to be replaced. Door men sat in a room off... More

Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights. The room was beautiful furnished, but a little smallish. We loved the bathroom, it was quite spacious. The first night we had bad luck: There was a problem with the heating and in the morning we were down to 58 degrees F.... It was a general problem and it got solved... More

Usual Holiday inn Express: small rooms, breakfast, wifi. Pros: central location, bonus for platinum members of Priorityclub in a form of 2500 points per stay, good prices. No obious cons. The room is not large, no upgrade is available, etc. I would definetely come there back again.

The hotel is located between Mag mile and La Salle in a perfect location. There are many hotels in the area but the prices will likely be higher. This is an utilitarian hotel, do not expect pampering here. At 85$/night it is great value downtown Chicago, including wifi and breakfast. Two blocks away from Grand station makes it easily accessible... More

Conveniently located but that's about it. Free breakfast was good actually. Room tiny! I really took my cat and could not swing it!!! Funny old posters from The Cass Hotel give weekly rates of $10!
