We stayed there for a day and were very disappointed with it. The hotel staff were loud and rude. Their limited English made communication difficult. Our room reeked of alcohol the very first time we entered. There were a few homeless people right outside the hotel both during the day and at night. Most shops were closed by 7pm (except... more

This hotel is located in a good location for travel to the Loop and other venues and is value priced. Both are important factors in whether you should stay in the hotel. Chinatown is a safe although unique neighborhood of Chinese restaurants and flea markets. It is not a family friendly hotel or neighborhood although ideal for a single or... more

The room was too small even for a single person. The only space you can have in the room is setting on the bed. The blanket was dirty and I could find some human's hairs on it.

The rooms are small but they are clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The train station is across the main street and is a very short ride (two... more

My son and I stayed at the Chinatown hotel for 3 nites recently-he's still in college and wanted to go to Chicago to do some sightseeing. My wife did not go-only he and I went. I don't need 5 star hotels myself and neither did my son. We have gone to other cities over the past 5 years. We spend... more

The hotel is an older one but the rooms were clean. There were no elevators and the night staff didn't speak english. Parking for the hotel and other businesses are about a block away and if you get a parking pass, you can't leave in and out. more

I admit I was terrified of staying here after reading the reviews describing bugs and whatnot, but since I needed to save money, I did it anyway. I brought bathroom cleaner and fresh sheets and towels just in case... but didn't end up needing any of it. I was very pleasantly surprised to find everything very clean and quite nice... more
