Yes, this hotel is in a good downtown location, but the rooms are tiny, depressing, and less than clean. If it hadn't been 11:00 PM, and if our car hadn't already been taken away by the valet, we would have walked out. We did request (and get) a less smoky smelling room which helped somewhat. We decided to make the... More

Chicago's Red Roof Inn is in a great neighborhood, one block from the Mag. Mile and about four blocks north of the river. Rooms are basic, but clean, and have an in-room coffee set-up (which my friends at a far more expensive Chicago hotel didn't have). The staff is absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable; and the price is definitely affordable.... More

Relation price/quality terrible. Small room with very bad odor. In general the hotel needs a quick renovation More

I always look for the best bargain and location and am not picky, but we found the room to be very depressing and outdated. The wall paper had a panel feel with dark redish carpet. The pictures people have posted give a good view of what they looked like. When we found sugar ants marching a piece of popcorn around... More

The location of the hotel is the main reason i picked it and it didn't let me down, it is right in the middle of everything and is still quiet, there is a hospital on the next block so sometimes i did hear the sirens but they weren't much of a hassle at all. The price i paid was also... More

I went to the Red Roof Inn with pretty low expectations, but my budget didn't allow for anything else. I was pleasantly surprised by the great location and friendly staff. The room was simple but adequate - and let me say again how pleased I was with the location. I was able to get around much of downtown by foot... More

This hotel in the Magnificient Mile section of Chicago is in a perfect place to visit quite a few tourist places by walking with a major shopping street just around the corner. The no frills room was small but clean and everything worked. A good value for the money. If you want to nitpick: there was no place for luggage... More

Having never been to a Red Roof Inn before, I expected something along the line of the UKs Travelodge or Premier Inn chain - a simply appointed room with the basic amenities anyone would need. And to be fair, I got that. Except, unlike travelodge/Premiere Inn, this place was scruffy, smelly, dated and, in parts, downright dirty. The coridoors were... More

Our first allocated room 1616 was awful. It stank and the air con machine sounded like a large truck or tractor, and found bits of food all over the carpet. We went streight down in the very slow lift to ask if it was possible to change rooms, to find that many of our party of 48 were complaining too!... More
