We were looking for a reasonable hotel to stay in while staying in Chicago and wanted something in the downtown area. We used hotwire for the first time when booking and, after deciding based on price and hotel rating, booked the hotel. With hotwire you don't know the exact hotel until the transaction has been complete. When our reservation was... More

The location is the best: in the middle of downtown, you can walk to the office, to the millenium park, do shopping and have fun. All was great. What I enjoyed the most was the breakfast area in the 2nd floor: big windows, beautiful decoration, you can feel Chicago is welcoming you! More

I have stayed at this LQ a million times, all stays have been great! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are always clean and I put a request for a room with great downtown view, staff has been giving me that for no extra charge! WAY HAPPY OVER ANY BRAND HOTEL IN WINDY CITY! More

The Hotel is located in the business district (river South) but not a bad walk or short cab ride to anything in town. I stayed at this hotel Oct 2011 for business and an extened weekend. I got a king room for $115.00 a nite thru Expedia. The Hotel was clean and comfy. No bussers or bells. The staff at... More

I stayed here once last year and I don't recall anything bad about the stay. This time around things are different. The room looks like something out of an Ikea catalog. Not bad but definitely not homey. It's very dorm-like. The bathroom is spacious but the toilet keeps running and they can't fix it until tomorrow. They did offer to... More

Depending on the price you can get, this is a great alternative for the theatre district, the opera, or any other activities situated toward the west side of the loop. The room I had was amazingly spacious, especially for accommodations in a big city. Huge work area looking out the windows, very comfortable bed, mini fridge, and coffee maker. My... More

I stay here frequently. It took the staff several visits before they started to recognize me as a regular, but now they help make this a great stay. Very strong value, not strong on a amenities. More

This hotel is in a great location for anyone working near the Sears Tower or the western part of the Loop. Since it was built a few years ago I've stayed here on business trips a few times a year. It's definitely the nicest La Quinta property I've ever seen. It's practically brand-new, which shows in the cleanliness and the... More
