Great Location, Great Price - user review
After reading some of the reviews here, I was not sure what to expect. What a relief! Yes the carpets are old and the woodwork is beat up. Yes, this is not the place to stay if you want concierge, room service, etc. But I've had much worse for the price. The 'funny smell' in the lobby is air freshen...

Okay if you need nothing more than a night’s sleep - user review
Don't expect too much. The rooms and are clean but there's not much space to move around. Our window was really small and the room was overheated when we checked in. On top of that, when we returned to our room later, our key cards were not working because they had assigned our room to someone else ...

It was alright for the price and location of the hotel. We were not to far from the United Center.

Not very impressed - user review
The only good thing about the hotel is probably the price. The small room is understandable given the location, but the carpet and sofa were quite dirty. The staffs were not helpful.

Deferred maintenance - user review
The Travel Lodge is a bargain compared to other hotels in the Chicago loop. But you get what you pay for. Our first room had a broken bed. The nice guy at the desk moved us down the hall, no problem.

They should either scaled down the room charge by some 30% or upgrade the services by 30%. In Chicago, you can have a considerably better quality by increasing just slightly your payment. I would recommend the...

Good enough for the price - user review
This hotel cost about half as much as the other ones in downtown Chicago (as far as I could tell). I was just happy that it didn't have bugs and seemed to be perfectly clean. The staff were only moderately friendly. It seemed to me like they see hundreds of people and aren't terribly interested in a...

This is a cheap hotel so you get what you pay for. The room was totally adequate for a place to sleep and the hotel is in a GREAT location for exploring downtown. The worst thing was it was VERY noisey at night, as it is right by the train. Great value for money, the staff were freindly and helpful ...

It would be an insult to a wrecking ball to be associated with this dump. Fortunately, from the looks of things, it will just collapse in on itself before too long anyway.
