If you’re looking for a cheap place to sleep this beats any motel 6. It’s not the nicest place but for a 15 minute train ride to downtown Chicago, it beat all other accommodations I could find by over $100, I will definitely stay here every single time I’m in Chicago which is quite a few per year

The smell in our room was SO bad, it hit you in the face every time upon entering, and you're nose can’t ever really get used to it. There’s no elevator so not accessible for people with disabilities. Regarding the safety of the area, there was a shooting right across the street one of the nights, so there’s that. The area was also noisy with drunken people yelling up and down the street until 3am. It was really hard to rest after long days of exploring the city. Our health kept deteriorating after every night with the smell and noises. Location was great and in the perfect spot for us, we took the water taxi straight into downtown so that was really convenient. Considering all the cons vs. 1 pro, I wouldn’t say it was worth it, despite the lower price, as the cons cost us our ability to enjoy the trip without feeling exhausted.

Ok for short stays without big pretentions
It was Okay. Check-in is at 3 p.m., not even one minute before that, so take that into consideration if you are planning to arrive 30 minutes early or something like that. You need to ask for room services if needed. The location is very good. The Red Line is very close to the hotel, and Chinatown has a nice ambiance.

The hotel is great for the price. The first room we had was terrible as there was trash everywhere and the toilet was clogged. However, we went down to the front desk and explained to them what we had walked into and they immediately apologized and gave us a new room. The new room was comfortable and cozy. It worked for what we needed. So if you are looking for a cheap option this is great! Super convenient location as well!

Property needs an entire upgrade. The entire hotel is in ruins. It’s definitely not in any condition to be running a business or charging people period to stay there. The entire establishment was like an abandoned building, with mildew, dirty, and grimy.

You get what you pay for...a cheap room to sleep. Sheets and towels were clean but windows (in our 2nd floor room) didn't appear to lock with a walkway outside.

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.

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).
