Great Location, Free Parking

Also lots of fast-food and restaurants in walking distance; gas station and pharmacy across the street. The hotel is kinda old and smells a bit funny (not the rooms, just the hallways) but is cheap and close to everything downtown. I would stay here again.

Should be just a regular Best Western

The only thing that makes this Best Western a "Plus" is the location. Most Plus' serve a nice hot breakfast in the morning but this one did not. However they did have a restaurant in the lobby area - although I never saw anyone in it. One plus is that they offer free parking for customers and once you are there you can walk all around the downtown area with ease, or take a cheap cab ride. Next time I go to Chicago I will probably stay somewhere else just to have another hotel to compare to.

Bachelor Party for 2 Nights

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful in making sure our needs were met. Free parking for hotel guests is always awesome! The room was very clean and comfortable, but the restrooms need a little updating. Still very nice, but not as new as the rest of the room. The view was ok, but I didn't expect much when the hotel is only 6 floors high surrounded by buildings that are much taller. Overall, it was just what me and the other two guys needed for our stay and it was really close to the Red Line subway which took us to both Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field. Very close to young and hopping clubs on Hubbard.

Go down towards Hubbard Ave. The bars/clubs are easier to get in to. Ontario Street is home to many clubs with a high cover charge.

would stay again

As advertised. Very clean room. The parking with the location is great. Room was a little small but I was alone so it was fine. Very comfy and clean. There wasn't much hot water either. Never cold but never hot. Overall very good experience. Thank you.

Close but no cigar...

Close to everything in the city! HOWEVER, bring your ear plugs. We were awake most of the night listening to conversations in other rooms, people walking on the floor above, the ice machine and vending machines being used, and the air conditioner turning off and on. The good news is the air conditioner, while on, masked most of the other noise. Be careful while choosing a temp for the shower - anyone flushing a toilet in the hotel will zap your water pressure and scald you.

Lou Malnati's is a short walk and has the best deep dish Chicago pizza in the city. We tried several others but loved this one.
