Frommer's Review

This former motor lodge isn't going to win any design prizes, but it's got some of the most affordable rates to be found in this busy neighborhood, within easy walking distance of Chicago's art-gallery district and numerous restaurants. Rooms are generic but spacious (with comfortable bedding and down pillows); the bathrooms, though no-frills, are spotless. One-room suites have a separate sitting area, while other suites have a separate bedroom; all suites come with a sleeper sofa. A big selling point for families is the indoor pool, with an adjoining outdoor roof deck (a smallish fitness room looks out onto the pool, for parents who want to work out while the kids splash around). The almost unheard-of free parking in the hotel's parking lot can add up to significant savings for anyone who drives here for a visit. There's a 2-night minimum for weekend stays May through October.

Facilities:
Restaurant (pizzeria); lounge; indoor pool; exercise room; room service; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
