We stayed at the Heart O' Chicago on a Saturday night because we had to be up early Sunday morning for an activity at Montrose Beach and our daughter lives in Andersonville. Easily booked a room over the phone. Good location near Clark, Ashland, and Broadway. Staff was friendly. Good basic continental breakfast. Room was very clean. Easy checkout. Nothing... More

We stayed here April 1 to April 3 2011, and we were in Chicago to see Queens of The Stone Age at the Riviera Theatre which is only a 5 minute drive from the hotel, When we first drove in the parking lot we were like 'uhhhh im scared" we talked to the guy at the front desk and he... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times and consistenly the rooms while nothing fancy they are always clean and maintained. I find the rooms are perfect if you are not going to be there but to shower and sleep. The location also has free parking and free internet. I did find that the staff here on every stay is... More

Dad and I wanted to take a train from Boston to Chicago and stay on the train. We weren't looking for anything special, just a clean room for two nights and good accomodations for a fair price. A pleasant surprise was the complimentary coffee and continental breakfast with restaurant like seating. Nce way to start the day. See Wrigley &... More

I had high hopes for this place. $80, I figured, was a decent price for a hotel in Uptown Chicago. I should have paid thirty more for a much better place. The desk clerks were beyond rude, one of whom was oblivious to my presence for a little over four minutes. The clerk upon check-in was much worse, treating me... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Heart during a weekend trip to Chicago and were pleased. Obviously, you pay for what you get and the hotel was on the cheap side so we didn't expect much, but we got what we paid for: a clean place to rest our heads at night and shower for a day out on... More

Takes you back in time to another era,but doesn't make for a bad place to get some sleep. Rooms were small but very clean.After paying $25 to park at Navy Pier we were open to value and free parking. We stayed here and took the 22 bus to Wrigley-SO Easy. Mgmt was accommodating and helpful.Breakfast was good cereal, donuts,fruit,oatmeal, muffins... More

The night clerk language was abusive and we had to leave after we were threatened. Be aware that there is double parking in the lot and that you will be awakened if you need to move your car. I would never stay there again. More

Heart of Chicago continues to be a great little inexpensive place to rest for a trip to chitown. Just steps to Clark St. to catch a bus or a 10min walk to the EL stop (BrynMar) Which over the years has become a less scary area. I would still hesitate to walk it alone at night but with a group...

Stayed here for a few nights on a trip to Chicago to catch up with some friends who lived nearby. They did offer for me to stay with them, but I didn't want to impose. This is exactly what it looks like from the outside. A tired, worn [--] motel, that's it... what you see is very much what you... More
