I was not anticipating a Holiday Inn express, but I was hoping for a toilet that flushed, and carpet I dared walk on in my bare feet. This is an old hotel (not older...old....older implies it has been taken care of). The young lady that checked us in was very pleasant, parking was fairly easy. The location very nice. Whne... More

For anyone visiting the Chicago area, this is a good choice if you can't affort the pricier hotels near the city center. It's an old hotel and has a lot of charm, but in our room there were several large areas where the plaster had fallen off the ceiling. The lighting in the bathroom could have bee a little brighter,... More

I was satisfied with services courtesy of staff members n affordable price. More

Let me lay it out for you future travelers... yes, it is OLD, with old furniture, cracking plaster, no storms on the windows, and (free) parking 2 blocks away (in a nice garage). Yes, you have to walk down a few steps with your luggage to the lobby, and yes, the elevator is sometimes slow. The TV appears to have... More

This hotel is in a great location. It is just a few yards from the Hemingway museum and his boyhood home. The El is three short blocks away, and there are several very good restaurants close by as well. There is a restaurant within the building for all meals and a good bar with excellent food and service. It is... More

We stayed at the Write Inn three years ago (the submission form only allows me to click as far back as 2010), and the unfavorable reviews say almost exactly what I would: slightly dingy, poor lighting, no TV channels worth watching (I usually read at night, but the lighting wasn't good), odd smell, great location, inexpensive. I wouldn't go back. More

I ranked this hotel very good based on the hotel only. That was based on the facility, location and price. Yes there are better hotels but I'm not going to nit-pick them. Now onto the location. It is nice walking distance to shops and restaurants. I appreciate that on a business trip. Also a nice feeling neighborhood. It's next to... More

Write Inn? Wrong Inn! What a dump. We were stuck there for three miserable nights. Worse than tired: filthy rooms; curtain rod holders, without curtains; thread bare towels and linens; non-functional 7 channel televisions – no popular channels; employees with no authority and a manager/owner who rarely shows up; showers that get suddenly hot or cold with low water pressure;...

My daughter and I just spent 2 nights here with a full day in Chicago. Wonderful location. Great neighborhood filled with vintage homes, pristine yards, eateries, and shops. The place to park your car is only a 2 block walk away and next to the Green Line (above the ground train). The Green Line takes you into downtown and goes... More
