Room was small, nothing fancy and no frills (newspaper, breakfast etc). But this is what we prefer. I do not like to pay hundreds of dollars for a bed or a room that I spend very little time in. There was wi-fi in the room which worked well. Service was prompt and friendly. Elevators small and slow. Price for Chicago... More

I was a little skeptical about staying here after reading some of the reviews, however the hotel was priced competively and the location was perfect (one block from Michigan Avenue "Magnificent Mile"). The check in process was handled in a friendly and efficient manner by Kelly. Kelly was also helpful when I went to book some tickets for a cruise... More

This hotel is in the perfect spot 1/2 a block off the magnifiecent mile, while it is not 5 star it was sufficent for our needs. Yes the room was a small room but we didn't spend much time there with so much to do outside. If you are looking for luxury with all the bells and whistles this is... More

My 13 year old nephew has been after me for over a year to go to Chicago. :) So, this was our first trip. I used Trip Advisor, but was looking for a low cost, central hotel option. The Red Roof Inn, fit the bill perfectly. The location couldn't be beat for our touring, which included the Air and Water... More

Spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and amenities provided. Very modest tariffs, very affordable. All mod cons provided in the rooms and sleeping arrangements quiet and cozy. Extremely close to shopping and food places. Woould highly recommend both for couples and family. More

I actually stayed here several years ago for one night. I could hardly sleep. My daughter and granddaughter were with me. The room was very small, which is bad enough, but it was so filthy that I would not even walk on the carpet with bare feet. I got up very early the next day and walked down the street... More

We picked this hotel because it was a good price and location for a little weekend trip for our family to Chicago. I was somewhat prepared for the conditions of this hotel, but it was still a bummer when we checked in. Very old hotel. Our room was very small with no closet, no hangers and nowhere to put our...
