Not fancy, no frills...just what we needed to be frugal on a room where we spent barely a wink. (Who spends time in your room in Chicago?) Everywhere we went we walked; everywhere was within 15 mins.Desk staff was helpful when asking questions. Perfect for people on a budget, or wanting to spend money elsewhere in the city! Not to... more

My sister and I went to Chicago on whim on the weekend, just to get away from everyday life. We went to the Cultural Center, asked for cheap places to stay in the heart of the city, and this is one of the few options they gave us. We LOVED our stay here. It was simple, cheap, and right next... more

motel with ground and first floor only. I was on the ground floor and discovered during my stay that my bedroom windows were unlocked. As a solo female traveller this was not comforting to me neither were the two locks and a chain on my door. I slept very little due to feeling unsafe and due to what sounded like... more

We stayed here two nights and didn't sleep either. There was a lot of comings and goings round the back with blasting steroes at 2am on a Monday morning which didn't help. The windows shook and it didn't feel particuatly safe.The hotel is basic, it's clean enough but didn't have the rustic charm others seem to think it has. What... more

I had read many reviews of this place and had mixed feelings. I booked anyway. I'm so glad I did! The room is an EXCELLENT value when compared to the other hotels. For example, the Best Western across the street was over $270.00 per night. I stayed in room 117 and it cost me with taxes 138.00. The room was... more

My husband and I stayed at the Ohio House Motel in May when we met friends in Chicago for a Cubs game and mini college reunion. In many ways you get what you pay for at the Ohio House, it's clean, and basic. The towels are somewhat scratchy, and the furnishings somewhat dated, though I prefer to think of them... more

Good enough for what I needed. I didn't want anything fancy and overpriced. Stayed 7 nights with no problems. Not the greatest but it was fine, and I never saw any bugs. The people on the streets and car horns can get annoying though. more

We had tickets to House of Blues one night and instead of paying too much for something we really didn't need we found this place. Honestly if you're staying directly downtown Chi-town what do you really need besides a bed and free parking. Room was in good shape, pretty much just a bed and dresser. Bathroom apparently was clean enough... more

basic budget hotel in a fantastic location for access to bars, cafes, shops, etc. large rooms and friendly staff and a bargain if you don't mind not having the lil extras like coffee makers, shampoo etc. more
