I stayed here on October 3rd for 1 night. While the Room was modern and nice comfy bed flatscreen tv The rest of the hotel is run down. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR AT ALL. To get the rooms you have to walk up 1 set of stairs then across a open area then another set of stairs just to get... More

This HoJo Inn is the true definition of value. It is an older hotel - the motel of family vacations when I was a child - complete with free parking (amazing in Chicago) and free WiFi. The staff is small but incredibly helpful, the rooms are basic & a bit worn but very clean. A king suite is one large... More

This location is close to what you need. Just 6 blocks to Michigan Ave. The place could use some updating but everything worked and was clean. The front counter folks were helpful as well. I would book again More

A great location close to the Mag Mile and public transportation! The price was right and NO parking fees. The desk staff was GREAT giving info, advice, and being very helpful The room is small, there was no mattress pad and the flat sheets on the mattress easily came off. Who knows what was on the mattress left from previous... More

Stayed here through priceline with name your own price, and got an amazing price compared to anywhere else in Downtown Chicago. At least $70 cheaper/night than any other place. The location is great with the train station a block away. Great restaurants/bars around the area. Room is nothing to brag about but the rooms themselves are clean and housekeeping is... More

I've stayed at this property several times. It definitely could use renovations, but for the price and location it works for me. For as much time as we actually spend in our room while in Chicago - Howard Johnson Inn is typically our first choice. There is a decent diner attached that is good and inexpensive. The location is within... More

I wanted to spend a weekend in Chicago in conjunction with Amtrak's annual National Train Day. Thanks to Priceline, my successful bid was accepted by the Howard Johnson, which, coincidentally, was one of the hotels I was considering due to its location and proximity to public transportation. This facility was definitely an older, no-frills, motel-like hotel, with small rooms, no... More

Other recent reviewers have touched on most of the basics here so I'll keep this short. Very pleasant stay, picked this hotel for free parking and convenient location and was not disappointed in the least. It's not fancy but I don't need fancy, just clean and a decent place to come home to after exploring Chicago. The free parking is... More

I have never felt compelled to write a review, but after staying at the hotel I realized there were some unfair reviews. We had a great experience and received friendly helpful service from the manager and staff. This is a great location with clean comfortable rooms. You can get better rooms, but not the great deal that includes on site... More
