Older hotel with a lot to f tiny elevators. The room was tiny but clean for an older hotel. It did smell like musty a bit and an odor lime urine. #1 drawback was the surprise parking fee of over $50 a night. Ridiculous amount when you are already overpaying for a older cheap chain of hotel.

Great location! We parked at the underground parking but no helpful signage to the direction of the lobby. We wish there was a ramp and not just stairs going up to the lobby to ease the flow of luggage. Overall okay stay.

Stay at best western chicago
Rooms were good and well maintained. Not so good experience when it came to parking, the underground parking garage needs redesign.its not properly spaced to park, would have helped if there was continental breakfast available, at least something that could be considered after 49$ parking charge

Decently maintained older hotel. The service was good and the clerks were helpful. Our room was large, clean, and overall our stay was pleasant. My only complaint is the bed was very firm, however I slept well. We were delighted that this hotel had a microwave/refrigerator available, as those amenities are extremely difficult to find anymore, and we need them for special dietary restriction reasons. The on-site parking was a huge plus, and the rate was very reasonable for downtown Chicago. This was a pleasant experience overall.

Not Bad
It was good enough and I will stay here again. This was my fourth stay here and I was in the section of the building off to the side with the door in the parking area. The room wasn’t quite as nice as rooms I’ve had in the main section. It was clean and pretty spacious. But it was right on Ohio Street which was busy and noisy. The wifi was terrible. But the location is excellent and the bed was pretty comfortable. The bathroom was fine.

DNC work trip.
Work trip for the DNC. May not be the fanciest hotel but in a great spot. Lots around to walk to, a Target right across the street, we were walking around late a couple of nights, felt safe. I wish I could remember the guy's name at the desk, southern accent, he was AWESOME. THAT'S the guy you want greeting you. Give him employee of the year. One little thing I really loved about this hotel is they have 3 elevators. You're never far from one no matter where your room is. The only downside and it's not the hotel's fault, the city noise is LOUD. Non stop sirens and loud cars. Sheesh.

We came to Chicago to celebrate my daughter’s 20th birthday on a tight budget. The hotel was basic, clean and it was extremely affordable in a very assessable area. No fridge or microwave in the room, however they gladly provided both when we called and requested them. Customer Service was AWESOME, staff were friendly and helpful. The rooftop lounge area was nice! Able to check in early which was very helpful. A walk to Chicago Riverwalk was about 10 minutes. We had tons of restaurants, Jewel, CVS and Walgreens nearby, so if we needed personal things we could easily get them. Would definitely stay here again for the price and would recommend to others! Thank you Best Western River North!
