With a low budget, we were able to find Travelodge to our liking. It was clean, close to everything we wanted to see and the staff answered questions and brought extra towels with haste. Our car was kept in the attached garage, but we were able to have our items stored until check-in. The kids stayed with adults at all times, but we were not afraid of our location. We will use this Travelodge again.

In all matters of dealing with the hotel staff, I found them to be very rude and not helpful at all. Staff accused us of flooding the hotel room because of some plumbing problem on their part which was pouring water through the electrical lighting in the room below. The walls are paper thin and you can hear every noise from the hallway and all rooms surrouding you. The beds seem very outdated and I found it impossible to get a good nights rest. If you plan on spending some relaxing time in your hotel for vacation, this is definitely not the hotel for you. The rooms are very outdated in all aspects. Although it seemed the bathrooms have been updating, their plumbing problems don't make it any better. Lastly, the train runs right beside the hotel about ever 5-10 minutes which is very loud. If you're a light sleeper, you can guarantee a sleepless night. Wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. Don't waste your money.

The hotel is not bad choice if the price is good and if you go for a conference nearby. We have a conference in McCormick center. I took shuttle bus from Hilton hotel, which locates two blocks aways. It is very convenient. The front desk people are friendly. But the hotel is too close to train track. It is very noise, hard to get a good sleep. My room is clean the first day I was there. But the second day I am not sure if they made my bed or not. The remote control of my TV is not really working.

This was a first time trip to the Windy City, the staff was very helpful to a couple of small town gals. The beds could have been a little softer, but we had plenty of hot water for showers. Overall it's a great place to stay, we walked every where we wanted to go, which saved on cab fares.

I and a friend shared a room to attend a conference. While we were not too crazy about the location (it was a 10 minute cab ride to McCormick Place, where our conference was held) the staff was friendly and courteous and our room was comfortable and clean. The security was fine and they helped us get a cab every morning. The Travelodge is an older building and could use some modernization, but I would stay again if the price was right.
