Hostels em Illinois, United States

My cousin and I were really happy with this hostel. We were lucky to get an 8 person dorm to ourselves, with en suite bathroom. The complimentary buffet breakfast was decent and the coffee good. Most staff were very friendly and helpful. The one drawback was a big one for us: out of 3 laundry rooms, none of the machines were working! There are dry cleaners in the area but no laundromat so we had no choice but to wear the same clothes for the next 3 days. There's no excuse for allowing all the machines to break down before calling for repairs. The hostel is huge, 7 stories, and offers all kinds of activities, a cafe next door, a fabulous library across the street, and even programs for the community. I saw an infant massage class going on in a meeting room.

I was pleasantly surprised when arriving at the hostel. It's in a beautiful street. Lincoln Park is such a lovely area, I wish I had more time to explore it. Tree-lined streets, great shopping and food options on Clark Street and close proximity to Lincoln Park and the beach. Also close to the subway to head into downtown Chicago. It's the nicest hostel I have stayed in. Spotlessly clean, large reception area and sitting room. Huge kitchen and fridges and free laundry which I took advantage of. If you're looking for a social hostel to meet people it didn't give me that sort of vibe, which was fine for me because I was out most of the day. There didn't seem to be any events on and everyone in the common area just seemed to be on their phone and keeping themselves to themselves, which again was totally fine for me. I stayed in a private room with a shared bathroom. The room was a great size with air-con, a table and chair and a bunk bed (single on top, double on bottom). The mattress was ok. The bunk beds were not great, a bit wobbly ( I wouldn't like to have had to climb to the top bunk), but it was fine and I had good sleep each night. The room was fresh and clean. I stayed 6 nights and it wasn't cleaned whilst I was there. With it being a hostel I'm not sure how this works? I emptied my own trash, asked for new towels and bedding which was fine but I would have liked it to be cleaned during my stay, not a big deal though considering the price, the fact its a hostel and generally how lovely it was. The shared bathrooms were spotlessly clean. There were four showers in the one closest to me. The staff were mostly friendly. One staff member was a bit rude when I queried the wifi, turned his back away and clearly did not want to engage (maybe he was having a bad day?) I just felt a bit awkward and like I was troubling him.. And the wifi was the only real negative. I struggled to get connected in my room throughout my stay and had to purchase data add ons which was an extra expense. Overall though, I would return. Brilliant set up and a gorgeous area.

Thank you for taking me in on such late notice. The plumbing at my flat decided to explode at 12:30 AM. I knew this place was a Choice Hotel, and as a member, I could earn a few points. Just want to say that I was quite impressed at the cleanliness of room 12. The carpet was in excellent condition. There was a soda stain at the foot of the bed, but that sort of thing is for deep clean. The curtains could do with an upgrade, but all good. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower felt wonderful. No phones in the room, but I had my mobile. I was only there for the night. The staff was most helpful, and considerate to my plight. The room was quiet accept for the clock radio which seems to be possessed. It kept making this static sound at intermittent intervals. Thank you Choice Hotels.

Normal quiet stay, think some of the filaments in heater are burned out

This hostel is a gem. I came up for a long (four-day) weekend, went to see Penn & Teller at the Chicago Theater Friday night, ran the 2023 Chicago Marathon on Sunday morning. All of the guests were friendly and I met some new friends. The staff were likewise friendly, courteous, and helpful. The hostel was clean, particularly the bathrooms. There are plenty of lockers for storing your gear; kitchen has all the amenities. The hostel is two blocks from the L and it's a 20-minute ride to downtown on the Red Line. Convenience stores, restaurants, coffee shops, bars are within one to three blocks. The neighborhood appeared to be safe and the streets are well-lighted. Great place to stay!

Good location in the city center Room facilities are not good, but the hotel is in a good location. The most important thing is to park. It is not easy to find a hotel in the center of Chicago. There is a car recommended to live here. Service is not bad.

Very good place to get food and it's located close to the expressway. Now everybody ain't the friendliest but they get the job done

We were going to an event in So Chicago, so this location was ideal for us. Unlike other reviewers, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was a little smaller but clean, comfortable, and very quiet. We did not need use the internet on this visit. Breakfast was the usual selections and quite good. I would like to see the addition of grab bars in the tub area.

I have spent 30+ years in hotel management. I was very pleased with this property. Very comfortable bed! Slept great even though my room was right over Lincoln Ave. I never heard traffic. The gentleman at the desk was very helpful. He heard me having difficulty opening my room door and he literally ran to help me. (I walk on crutches and this room was on 2nd floor. Nothing to be done about that as it was a last minute booking.) Room was great. Clean, no odors or missed trash. The only problem was the bedside lamp closest to the bathroom was not plugged in properly so it kept going on and off. The alarm clock radio was plugged into this lamp so it didn't keep time right. That's why only a 4/5 rating. I will definitely stay here again!

This place is better than the typical big city motel/motor hotel, it is older but not worn. It was clean, no smells and no bugs. Hot water pressure was good, and individually-controlled central air conditioning worked well. The room had a table with 2 chairs, a separate small desk with chair, and the room and bathroom were plenty big not cramped. Despite being on a main street, it was quiet other than the occasional siren, and there was no noise from rooms next door or other guests outside. It was under $100/night with free parking, a bargain for Chicago. The CTA Red Line train is a 15-minute walk away, and we always felt safe in this neighborhood. There is a Starbucks and White Castle Hamburgers down the block. A downside is that there is no online reservation system, you must call. You get no email confirmation, just a credit card receipt upon payment, which is required at check-in, along with a $5 room key deposit. It is a basic room: no coffeemaker, frig or microwave oven, but there is cable TV. There is no Continental Breakfast, although it is listed on their website and on a sign on their building. The room has a standard double bed (not King or Queen), so may be too narrow or short for some couples, and it is a bit uncomfortable but tolerable. There is no elevator, but 50% of the rooms are on the ground level. If you want to charge your cellphone on the nightstand bring an extension cord, as the only outlets are on the side walls. This motel is just fine for a short stay in Chicago, as long as your expectations aren’t too high and all you want is a clean and convenient location.

The environment near the hotel is very good, the hotel is generally like, no drinking water Motel, the room is not ventilated. Older and dirty
