I work for a major hotel brand and due a large convention in the city for the T Giving weekend I had to find an alternate accomodation. While I must admit a non brand hotel would be my last choice, I gave it a shot based on reviews. I must say that I was very impressed. While the rooms are... more

We recently spent a weekend in Chicago and, through Trip Advisor reviews, found the Heart of Chicago Motel. The first attraction was the price, $69 for a one bed double, complimentary continental breakfast and FREE parking. What a bargain! Our room was clean and comfortable. Due to traffic, we arrived at 8:30 pm without dinner. We asked the front desk... more

My husband and I stayed here primarily because of the reviews on Tripadvisor, and the previous reviews are pretty much right on. I gave this hotel such a high rating because of the value we received. Pluses: Clean! Nice shower and functional bathroom. A roomy place to hang up our clothes. Even though our room was in the front of... more

The internet showed this hotel as being booked so I called them directly. They were able to reserve me a room right away. When we got there we were amazed. I thought since the price was so reasonable and it was in a good area that the place would have been a dump. Now I am no princes so fine... more

My boyfriend and I booked a last minute trip to Chicago after we found a great flight deal. We scrambled around trying to find a decent hotel deal for a prime weekend in the summer. Being budget travelers we were not willing to spend $150 a night on a hotel but were ready to give up until I contacted the... more

Think of an old motor lodge from your childhood and this is it. Clean, a bit shabby but Free parking (In Chicago- think about that!) Free continental breakfast (included fresh fruit and healthy cereal) Good coffee. I had a quiet, non-smoking room. As a woman traveling alone I felt safe with lots of people staying there and lots of kids.... more

My wife and I stayed in the Heart O Chicago Motel so we could look for apartments. It was the perfect place to stay for us simply because it had free wireless internet so we could look for apartments online, and a CTA bus stop that is right in front of the motel that takes you directly to the bryn... more

Great little place! Clean, old, but nice for the price! We will go back! Took the Red Line to Addison and the Cubs game and then on to Bryn Mar. There is a bus that runs right by the Motel if you get there before 10 p.m. but they start back up at 6 am! This is how to enjoy... more

This was our first stay in Chicago. When I was looking for hotels, the prices were unbelievable and some of the reviews for these high price hotels were worse. I am so thankful for the reviews on Heart O'Chicago because I was not disappointed. This two-night stay was great. The motel is retro--yellow everywhere! The breakfast was adequate for us--fresh... more
