Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
A very basic hotel. Changed rooms 3 times. (Door wouldn't open, lights didn't work, TV broken...) Could be much cleaner, but beds and bathroom are good (especially at sockets, behind cupboards, in corners, I think it could be much cleaner with little effort) There is NOTHING to do in the area surrounding the hotel. No shop, no restaurant, nothing. Price-quality it is ok, but I wouldn't book it again and wouldn't recommend it either. Advantage: parking included. Disadvantage: no breakfast. There is a bar in the hotel that sells breakfast, but they are not always open and the opening hours are not reliable Staff is very friendly

Great location on 26th street with free parking on site, also near Green & Red CTA lines to access Sox games at Guaranteed Rate Field and Cubs games at Wrigley Field. Only a few blocks from a McDonald’s, Starbuck’s, and the McCormick Center. Would stay here again, friendly staff!

I can not believe I stumbled onto making a reservation at this hotel, which checks all my boxes and then some. I am 64 years old, so I am forever nostalgic for the way hotels used to be. Let me see if I can hit all the points of happiness for me at this place. To start with, the lady at the front desk was incredibly polite and helpful. I am sorry I did not get her name. She also didn’t turn me away, as I was 20 minutes before official check in time. My room was huge! Spacious and perfectly laid out, with a full length sliding mirror door on the closet, which contained an ironing board and iron! There was a fridge for my wonderful leftovers from Chinatown, a coffeemaker, and a window I could open! The A/C unit kept the room exactly how I like it. The tub was a jacuzzi (without jets) which afforded me a heavenly bath this morning. The drain plug did not leak and once pulled, the tub drained freely. The light in the bathroom was perfect. The place was clean, the bed was comfortable, the pillows were generous. I did not hear a SOUND and slept better than I do at home. I walked all over this neighborhood, after getting here from Midway by taking the Orange line to Halstead and walking from there. I can’t wait to get a chance to stay here again. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

One star only for comfortable king-size bed and soft pillows. Everything else was horrible: no shampoo and shower gel in dispensers, only 1 tiny soap bar and lotion for 2 people who stay for 3 nights. We have asked twice on reception to fill them, bring more soap and screw a lightbulb in the bed lamp - nothing was done. Blanket was with pee and blood stains, empty minibar, runny tap in the bathroom and weak pressure in the shower. Poor heat and noise insulation so I could hear loud music from other room and my husband got sick. Elevator was working from time to time, so we had to bring down our luggage using stairs. Breakfast was poor as well with not fresh products and how am I supposed to add frozen milk to porridge to brew it?! Baking goods were with mold smell so we didn’t eat anything except fruit and tea. Regarding location: too far from center and we didn’t feel safe, I was always worried about our car as on the parking place near the hotel were cars from the neighbourhood but not hotel guests so in the evening it was fully parked and management carried no responsibility if smth would happen to your car. We have been to 13 countries and we ran to check out earlier for a day because we couldn’t stay anymore in this neglected place. We really regret choosing this hotel and no one will refund you all the discomfort caused.

Stayed here for the first time and did not like it! Paid more than $200 a night but it was not worth it!
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a rude and unfriendly short African American young lady. Beside her overall poor attitude, she never gave me information about their free WiFi and I had to call from the room to get that information. Entire hotel smell with weed and other drugs. Some areas are very stronger than the others. Entering the room, I realized that AC was not cooling as it is supposed to. Fridge was also barely cooling. Water flow in the bathroom's faucet was very low. Shower pressure was fine. Their free Internet is horrible. Extremely slow speed and it would disconnect often. This is a big hotel yet pretty much everyday I stayed their elevator would go out of service! They don't notify or put any notification in the lobby or anything like that. Our toilet flush started to leak and it turns out that it had heavily worn out flapper. Our shower soap ran out and it was never refilled. They also charge $100 deposit for any damages.
Hotel is conveniently located next to the major freeway and very close to the downtown. They have an ample free parking on site. Train and bus stops are within reasonable walking distances as well. They do have microwave but it is in the lobby.
This hotel is old and worn out. Drugs smell are everywhere. It needs to be renovated. Specially internet needs to be fixed. I will pay more and stay somewhere else.

Cons Outdated hotel we were locked out of room x2- 2 separate set of keys still would not allow us in Maintenance no clue how to get us into our room when it was a battery issue moved to a different room which floor was stained and the fire alarm was ripped out of the wall Elevators frequently not functioning which I don’t mind to take the stairs but after being locked out of room and having to carry luggage up 3 flights of stairs and with above issues if we were not leaving the next morning I would have just left to begin with Breakfast was bagels and juice Price was $250 which Green Bay vs packers game weekend so compared to downtown hotels price was a better deal but after dealing with these above issues would have been better paying more-
Overall my recommendation don’t stay here and deal with the issues we had too:

I stayed at this hotel from Dec 31st to Jan. 2nd. Upon entering the room my first thought was, it was clean, no ironing board for the iron, no microwave, but did have a refrigerator. Goes to the sink, boom!!! No Hot water!!!! My friend called it t in, and was told they will have it taken care of. Next day awaken to no hot water. This is New Year Day 2025, no hot water, my friend called the desk at 8:00 am, and was told the boiler was out and the maintenance guy is coming to fix/ repair it, and she stated , “ we can’t make them come out or hurry them. At 11:30 I myself called, because it felt frisky to me, “ something just ween’t right. So I asked the female receptionist why we still don’t have hot water, and that the water had to be already off prior to us arriving here. She stated it going to be fix when the guy gets there. Then I said to her, the building can’t have just one boiler, therefore the whole building can’t be out of hot water. Her reply: half the building got hot water. I said that can’t be, then she said, “ almost the whole building got hot water.” I said to then give us another room. She stated it will be on the 5th floor, I said that fine, and thank you. When my friend picked up the key card, they had switched from the 5th to the 3rd floor. We gets to that room, nice and warm looking rather clean. Boom!!!’!!!!!!!!!! My friend notice immediately, No chair at the desk, No ironing board, No coffee maker ( just the tray with coffee and pack ), No lamp cover on the lamp between the two beds. The lamp on desk didn’t work. TV didn’t work!!! The heater motor were loud. Remind you we had a two-day say. I failed to mention, in the first room upon awakening I noticed a raised bump on the back side of my upper arm ( big fluid filled). When I gets home more, back of neck, and other arm, and my hip more are appearing down my arm. Never again this hotel or any Pls don’t go by the other good ratings. Pls take the bad experience into consideration!!!!

My work booked this place last minute and it was so bad I spent my own money to get the hell out of there. They first got my room wrong. When I got my actual room the carpets and curtains were heavily stained. All the rooms smelled dusty. Terrible Wi-Fi so I couldn’t work. Lamp was broken and the smoke detector was missing like it was ripped out. Also so empty, literally no amenities. Tv didn’t even work either. I’m not that picky but it would be nice to stay in a place that’s clean. Front desk said I could get a refund, but when booking.com reached out for it the hotel declined the refund. Do not stay here!

The room was damp from humidity: the air, the bed, blankets, sheets, the carpet. We were so exhausted the only thing I wanted to do was lie down. When I brought it to the person at the front desk the response was "awe I'm sorry." Overall, the place was not clean. The best part was the convenience with how close it was to downtown but I'd happily drive further or pay more to know I'll be in a clean, nice place. They had a wonderfully deep bathtub which would've been divine. But everything had signs of neglect: from there being what looks like mold in the faucet, the stains on the ironing board, the fridge leaked water all over the things we put in there, and there was moisture on the air conditioning. Yeah...absolutely not.

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel recently, and I feel compelled to share my wonderful experience, particularly highlighting the outstanding service provided by a front desk staff member who truly made our stay memorable.
Upon a last-minute arrival, due to an unexpected cancellation at another hotel, we were understandably stressed and unsure. However, the moment we approached the front desk, we were greeted by an exceptionally kind gentleman with dreadlocks, whose warm welcome instantly alleviated our concerns. His professionalism, combined with genuine care and efficiency, was nothing short of remarkable.
This gentleman went above and beyond to ensure our accommodations were not only swiftly arranged but also that they met all our needs. He was attentive, answering all our questions with patience and a smile that was both comforting and reassuring. It's rare to encounter someone so dedicated to guest satisfaction and adept at turning a potentially frustrating experience into a delightful stay.

We walked to the ballpark two nails gets in a row, felt safe. However we rode a cab back to hotel.
Walk was mostly along a well shaded sidewalk. It is probably a little over a mile. I think after dark, it would be a little less comfortable to walk back from the park, however if you are going to a Day game walking both ways would be fine.
We do not unfortunately, however CD1 cleaners is on Michigan & State (6 blocks away) & Villiage Wash, a wash and fold coin laundry is on 17th & Halsted (about 1mil. away). I hope this helps!

I would certainly call the front desk and ask if they can accommodate you with that request. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, so who knows. The worst they can do is say no.
There are more places to choose from in the Chicago area.
