I used to live in Chicago and always was intrigued by this hotel when I drove by it, mostly due to the big cheesy sign (which I love). I was back in town to do some work and, although I usually stay with friends, I decided to get a hotel for a couple of nights. Since I was using my... more

Stayed here April 28th & 29th '08 and felt it was decent value for the money. The towels provided excellent exfoliation whether you wanted it or not, and the continental breakfast was pretty sparse, but the rooms were clean, housekeeping quite adequate, good restaurants close by and it was easy to navigate to the Lakeshore and downtown. Free parking too!... more

My best friend & I were going to visit Chicago for a long weekend. We'd hoped to stay closer to the Loop, but the prices were light-years out of our range. Heart O Chicago turned out to be absolutely perfect for us. I was worried about the distance from downtown, since we didn't have a car; but Andersonville is a... more

I work for a major hotel brand and due a large convention in the city for the T Giving weekend I had to find an alternate accomodation. While I must admit a non brand hotel would be my last choice, I gave it a shot based on reviews. I must say that I was very impressed. While the rooms are... more

We recently spent a weekend in Chicago and, through Trip Advisor reviews, found the Heart of Chicago Motel. The first attraction was the price, $69 for a one bed double, complimentary continental breakfast and FREE parking. What a bargain! Our room was clean and comfortable. Due to traffic, we arrived at 8:30 pm without dinner. We asked the front desk... more

My husband and I stayed here primarily because of the reviews on Tripadvisor, and the previous reviews are pretty much right on. I gave this hotel such a high rating because of the value we received. Pluses: Clean! Nice shower and functional bathroom. A roomy place to hang up our clothes. Even though our room was in the front of... more

The internet showed this hotel as being booked so I called them directly. They were able to reserve me a room right away. When we got there we were amazed. I thought since the price was so reasonable and it was in a good area that the place would have been a dump. Now I am no princes so fine... more

My boyfriend and I booked a last minute trip to Chicago after we found a great flight deal. We scrambled around trying to find a decent hotel deal for a prime weekend in the summer. Being budget travelers we were not willing to spend $150 a night on a hotel but were ready to give up until I contacted the... more

Think of an old motor lodge from your childhood and this is it. Clean, a bit shabby but Free parking (In Chicago- think about that!) Free continental breakfast (included fresh fruit and healthy cereal) Good coffee. I had a quiet, non-smoking room. As a woman traveling alone I felt safe with lots of people staying there and lots of kids.... more
