I've never written a review on TripAdvisor before, but felt the need to with the Travelodge. Although the hotel is in a fantastic location in the loop, it is not worth the money. (Plus it's right next to the train tracks which makes for a lot of noise.) A few major issues: 1. the elevators. There are 3, but there... More

This hotel is right near the Loop in the heart of downtown Chicago. The location is great but that's where the good information stops. This hotel is a budget facility and is in need of a makeover. Our beds were worn out and the pillows were small and lumpy. The refrigerator door would not close so things wouldn't stay cold.... More

I had major concerns based on other reviews; however, this hotel was the PERFECT location for participating in the Chicago Marathon with a start/finish at Grant Park. The cons: not updated, one computer in lobby didn't work, super slow elevators, didn't clean room until after 5PM on day two. The pros: comfortable king bed, spacious room (1023), refrigerator (perfect for... More

Because the cost of this hotel was a fraction of other downtown Chicago hotels, it was not expecting the Ritz. I did, however, expect a functioning bathroom. We arrived in the wee hours of the morning and was not surprised that our room was very small and sparse but it was clean. We just feel into bed that night. In... More

My husband and I stayed at the Travelodge Hotel for 3 days last week. We were shopping for a hotel that was convenient to the museums, theaters, Grant Park and transportation. This location seemed to be perfect. We run a tour business and we book groups year-round and Chicago seems to always be a favorite of our clients. Upon check-in,... More

We stayed at this hotel when visiting friends for a weekend in July. When we got there to check in (after check in time) the room was not ready. So we decide to park the car in the garage close to the hotel. It took so long to park by the time we got done the room was ready. We... More

Just returned from three nights in Chicago during a very busy conference weekend. Most rooms were booked pretty far in advance, and the remaining rooms started at at least $125/night more than the Travelodge. It was better than what I had been expecting after reading other reviews, but then again I'm pretty easy to please. Definitely a little older facility,... More

I had to go to Chicago on a last minute business trip and got jammed with very little availability for the week I was visiting. I went ahead and selected this hotel knowing that it probably wasn't going to impress me and it didn't. The staff was helpful and courteous and they did the best with what they had. They... More

Booked this hotel in advance. Checked in. Room was disgusting: filthy carpet (puke stains between beds) rusted exposed pipes in room, mattresses were concave and looked like they came from a landfill, had one chair in the room with torn upholstery. In short this is your worst nightmare of a hotel. We immediately checked out and booked a last minute... More
