I'll confess that I picked the hotel because it was the cheapest room I could get within walking distance of the early-morning event I was in town for, but I was pleasantly surprised with how nice the hotel was. Yes, my room was small, as other reviewers have noted, but I did not feel like I gave up anything or... More

We've just returned from Chicago and 5 nights at the Hotel Felix; the place was clean, well run, affordable, and well-situated for travellers. The hotel is close to the CTA Red Line, and an easy walk to the gallery district, Whole Foods with it's breakfast bar, Michigan Avenue and the river.

After reading some reviews, I was quite sure I would stay in a closet-size hotel room. I was really surprised to find out that the hotel room has a very decent size. My husband and I stayed in a 4-star hotel room that is much smaller than this when we were in Paris last year. Hotel Felix is better than... More

I have never been in such a small hotel room. It is so small everything had to be attached to the wall. There is no dresser in the room, so you have to use the drawers under the bed, which means the bed frame extends beyond the mattress and I was constantly banging into the corners because the room was...

Good hotel. The beds were very comfortable. Front desk staff was quiet, but not, not friendly.The only bummer was the room view. We looked into the construction of the next building and got a glimpse of the Sports Authority (woohoo). One other thing that was a bit troublesome was the lack of power outlets.

Hotels in Chicago are expensive. It's just the way it is. So when a hotel in a great location has an amazing rate, people think there must be a catch. Surely there must be one?
