Inn of Chicago

Pros: Great staff! There was a leak in my room that the staff didn't know about. I alerted them and they immediately moved me to another room.
Cons: N/A
Location: Located right on Madison & Ohio. 10 minute walk to Grand Street where you can take free rides to Navy Pier. 15 minute walk to The Bean/Millennial Park
The hotel had this sketchy feel to it but honestly, that's what made it the best in an odd way. The rooms are great, can't complain about the price. Only thing we were mislead on was breakfast. No breakfast but wifi was included. I visited in the winter so I was barely on the rooftop of the hotel but I can only imagine was the view is like in the summer. Can't complain, great staff! Just make sure you do physically print your receipt/itinerary. Just in case, since they couldn't originally find me in the system.

Great location/terrible facility

Pros: Staff was very sympathetic and responded to our request for room changes. Comped first night.
Cons: I guess you get what you pay for.
Location: Centrally located to Mag Mile shopping and restaurants.
Had to change rooms twice in one night.......first problem:mechanical room next door, loud humming sound. Second time next door to party central, changed rooms at 4 am......neighbors were eventually evicted. Hallway carpets were raggy and torn......no maid service/no soap.............

Nasty hotel

Would never stay here again even if I was paid a million dollars. The room was so small and smelled like dirt. Dominique who answers the phones is the rudest little girls. Never coming back.

Good location

Good location. Easy to walk to many attractions such as Navy Pier and the 'Bean'. Rooms could do with a make over but comfy.

Conference

The hotel was close enough to the hotel where my conference took place, which was a plus. However, the area was very noisy and busy transpiring all of that noise all the way to the top floors. Overall, the area was too busy and made it difficult to have a good night rest.

Inexpensive, very conveniently located hotel

Pros: Great location just off Michigan Avenue
Cons: Room decor was quite dated
Location: We were able to easily walk to all around downtown from this central location
This was my first stay in this hotel. Basic accommodations was all I was looking for as I did plan to spend much time in the room other than shower and sleep and this fit the bill just right. I will return on future trips.

Great Location, Ok Room, Serious Billing Problems

Location is fabulous. Rooms are OK at best....small, outdated, uncomfortable matresses. It's suitable if you really want to be downtown and aren't spending a lot of time in the room. Worst part of the whole trip was when I realized I was overcharged by $155+ for a room that was supposed to be less than $90. I had to spend 3+ hours of my time trying to explain to 3 different people what had happened--all of whom couldn't answer why I had been overcharged, or when I would get a refund. Ridiculous. In short, great location, cheap prices, OK for sleeping, but closely monitor your card(s).

Wonderful Hotel

I was skeptical about staying at this hotel because of the wide range of reviews. I have stayed in many high-level, business-traveler hotels, and this one was as good as any. The location was half a block from the Magnificent Mile, and a short walk to the bridge across the river and all of the attractions near the Loop (Millennium Park, the art museum, etc.) The room was impeccably clean, the furniture was attractive, the bathroom was small but very adequate and the staff was simply wonderful -- helpful and very friendly. It's my go-to hotel in Chicago in the future.
