Great location. Cheap room. We knew the room would be small. We wanted a clean place to sleep near Chinatown. This place is a block from the subway (L) station. It’s right off one of the main shopping streets in old Chinatown. It’s in an old building which was less clean than I would have liked but not dirty. Linens were clean. It was pretty quiet. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Chicago.

Great location near CTA Red Line station. Fun neighborhood. Could use some sprucing up, lots of peeling paint. Great deal for being so close to downtown and McCormick Place. No amenities, but there are properties going for 3-4 times the daily rate if that's important for your stay.

Easy access to downtown and Chinatown. The hotel was lovely and if you grew up in these kind of communities you’ll be a ok. However don’t go in expecting a standard hotel experience! There were certainly stains on the wall and perhaps mold in the showers. But the bed was soft and the location great and the front desk staff lovely.

Fine for the price.

This is a place totally in flux. For what I paid. Amazing location. It was a fine room. But super budget. My room was cleanish but the sheets were tattered, the bathroom was rough, but this is definitely a property where they are making an effort. Excited to see the future for them.

Fine

It’s fine service and quality with the price in Chicago. Staff tried to clean the stairs and public area as they can but sometimes other customers dropped their food on the stairs. Others’ doors and the fire department nearby were little noisy at night but might not be a regular issue (unsure if it’s because I travel over the weekend). One of the pillows was not clean but the pillow case was ok. Positive things about it would be the food options around are pretty nice, many shops, close to the train, and a walkable distance to a nice park.

The hotel was great value and near to the Cermak subway station (walkable), in Chinatown. There are lots of eateries and various gift shops and supermarkets nearby too. The hotel is dated, despite signs everywhere that stated the fine for smoking and local bylaws, the hotel and our room stank of cigarettes. The room was basic but the bathroom was spacious and clean. The receptionist lent us a plug so that we could charge our phones, as we'd hoped they might have USB charging points, we were advised that this was an old hotel and didn't have such things. For a base to explore other parts of Chicago, this is a great value hotel but you get what you pay for and whilst the bedding was clean, the bathroom clean (with some free toiletries) it did feel grubbier, with the strong smell of stale cigarette smoke. However,the hotel met our needs for the 1 night that we stayed

Room was at an affordable rate. Downtown Chinatown area was very close by so you could walk from the hotel to shop end eat at a variety of establishments. With there being no elevator, getting a 3rd floor room was a bit tiresome going back and forth especially with how tight the stairway was. Walls were very thin so I pretty much heard my neighbors on the opposite end of the hall of the same floor and nearly all the commotion outside. There was only 1 worker at the front desk at all times and they weren't too helpful when it came to knowing parking accommodations. I'd recommend this property if you're in town for the weekend and didn't bring your own vehicle as parking is either at a nearby parking garage, a communal parking lot, or utilizing a 3rd party app to park your car overnight. All the rooms share a kitchen and fridge so that can be a big turnoff for people who intend to bring in leftovers or preparing food while staying.

Awesome location and price. This is right near the red line train station, which will take you to downtown. Not only that, but you’re right in the heart of Chinatown. It was pretty amazing being able to shop at the nearby stores, pick up some bread from the bakery across the street, or visit a restaurant nearby and for it to be a short walk overall! As others have mentioned, the place isn’t the most clean or well kept. I found some light trash under the bed, but I’m not sure that’s fair to count against them. I noticed the blanket had some holes and the desks looked to have cogarette burns. If you’re looking for something fancy, this isn’t it. But if you just want a place to spend the night, I’d highly recommend this place (especially cost-wise).

the bed had no bedbugs and was somewhat comfortable, but the area looks very ghetto and unsafe and i constantly heard screaming and running around the hallways. walls are also very thin and the window view was a dirty alleyway. also located near red line which is convenient but somewhat unsafe. and its in chinatown so it’s convenient to get breakfast in the morning. the bathroom condition was horrible and the toiletpaper holders were broken and run down. There was only one outlet in the entire room. and no elevator despite there being 3 floors

No frills, no problem

We were wanting to check out the Whitesox Stadium. Plus, we were coming up for The Stones concert at Soldiers Field the next day. Already had a Hotel for that trip. We were looking for a cheaper place for our first night. Accomplished that times 3. The Chinatown hotel has no parking. We parked at a public lot, just a few minutes away. It was fine, and probably cheaper than most Hotel parking charges. We were able to check in early. We even got on the first floor. There are 3 floors, and no elevator. Our room was without any amenities, or wash cloths. The place was very clean. Workers were very friendly. AC worked well. Many restaurants really close.

Although the building is old, the location is great, it's quiet, the WiFi is good, and it's reasonably priced. The hotel is a block and a half from the Cermak-Chinatown CTA L stop, which provides great access to just about everything Chicago has to offer. Despite what you might have heard, traveling on the CTA is quick, cheap and safe to most places. As with any city, there are places to avoid, ask a native or a cop if you have any doubts. You're not going to be spending a lot of time at the hotel when you're awake, so the lack of amenities (no coffeemaker, no mini fridge, no microwave, etc.) can be overlooked, unless you're fussy. In that case, there's a Springhill Suites 3 blocks south on Wentworth. There are many good places to eat, and not just Chinese food. There are also a lot of interesting little shops, some with kitschy goods and others with better merchandise, which makes it fun to stroll down the street and take a look. You never know what treasure you might find.
